Applied Materials tracks 100-plus fabs as cleanroom capacity limits equipment growth
What happened
Applied Materials tracked more than 100 wafer fabrication projects worldwide over the past two quarters, as strong artificial intelligence demand continued to meet constraints in cleanroom construction and supply chain capacity. The company added more than 10 projects in each quarter, indicating that global fab development and future cleanroom availability were still expanding. The source cites cleanroom construction and supply chain capacity constraints as the limiting factor.
