technology center in 1991. It's mission was to develop control
systems integrating hardware and software for the company's
automated systems. The core staff included highly experienced,
professional engineers committed to market-driven innovation.
Operations in Israel also contributed to APPLIED MATERIALS'
global operations with the development of Computer Based Training
(CBT) programs, designed to assist users in learning the
structure, operation and process programming of APPLIED
MATERIALS' equipment.
In January 1997, APPLIED MATERIALS formed the Process,
Diagnostics & Control (PDC) Business Group, incorporating the
advanced inspection and metrology capabilities of two acquired
Israel based companies: Orbot Instruments, a supplier of wafer
and reticle inspection systems, and Opal Technologies, a supplier
of SEM based metrology systems. The two companies were integrated
into APPLIED MATERIALS including their manufacturing facilities
and research and development centers.
APPLIED MATERIALS Process Diagnostics and Control (PDC) Business
Group brings constant technological innovation to the global
semiconductor industry. PDC develops and manufactures inspection
tools and solutions that integrate a wide variety of cutting-edge
technologies designed for the world's leading microchip
manufacturers.
PDC employees a staff of around 1,000 and has centers in Rehovot,
Yokneam, Kiryat Gat and Migdal Haemek. The PDC team includes over
400 leading scientists and engineers, specializing in fields such
as physics, electro-optics, algorithms, electromicroscopy and
mechanics.
APPLIED MATERIALS ISRAEL supports local communities through a
variety of programs with a key focus on encouraging and
supporting youth science and technology education, with
preference given to youth from under privileged backgrounds.
In academia, the Company provides support for research grants and
scholarships for outstanding students at the Technion and Bar
Ilan University. It runs the Science on Wheels program in
conjunction with the Weizmann Institute of Science and operates a
unique cafe on its campus that employs youth who are at risk. The
company also supports local organizations that provide food and
services for needy families, day care centers for children at
risk, a girls hostel, foster family organizations and the
children's ward at the Ness Ziona hospital.
