Applied Materials expanded manufacturing and R&D operations in Singapore with the Tampines Campus to support a global build-out of AI infrastructure. The facility already operated at volume production, with a focus on serving chipmakers expanding production.

The new campus cost US$500 million (S$600 million) and more than doubled Applied’s advanced cleanroom capacity in Singapore. Applied said the move strengthened its global manufacturing footprint, which also included facilities in the United States, Europe, Israel and Taiwan.

Within the Tampines Campus, the facility deployed Autonomous Mobile Robots, autonomous assembly and testing systems, and AI-assisted quality inspection. The campus also used augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) tools for technician training and precision maintenance operations. It included an onsite solar panel system, LED lighting, low-carbon concrete construction, a closed-loop water reclamation system for zero water waste, and a Smart Building Management System monitoring energy and water consumption in real time.

Applied described the campus as aligned with Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority (BCA) Green Mark Certification at the Green Mark Platinum tier. KC Ong, Group Vice President of Worldwide Manufacturing at Applied Materials, said, “Singapore has been a strategic hub of Applied Materials’ global operations for 35 years, and our expansion here is a testament to the world-class semiconductor ecosystem, infrastructure and talent this country has built.” Gary Dickerson, President and CEO of Applied Materials, said, “AI is transforming every industry, creating unprecedented demand for advanced semiconductors,” and “Our expanded manufacturing operations in Singapore strengthen Applied’s ability to deliver semiconductor manufacturing equipment that chipmakers need to bring next-generation chips to market faster.” Forward-looking statements in the release addressed planned infrastructure investments, anticipated growth, and demand drivers.
