“Demand for Applied Materials’ products and services has never been stronger, yet we remain constrained by on-going supply chain issues,” said Gary Dickerson, president and CEO. “Our priority is to work quickly and creatively across the supply chain to bring more industry capacity on-line, while accelerating the technology inflections that we believe will enable Applied to outgrow the semiconductor market in the years ahead.”
