Business profile

Updated

Applied Materials, Inc. was founded in 1967 and is headquartered in Santa Clara. Gary E. Dickerson is its President and Chief Executive Officer. The company designs, builds and services the equipment used in semiconductor fabrication plants, or fabs, where manufacturers turn silicon wafers into chips.

Its Semiconductor Systems business sells equipment for many stages of chip production. These tools deposit and remove materials, form transistors and wiring, transfer patterns into device structures, measure and inspect production results, and support advanced packaging that connects multiple chips into a system. The equipment is used by foundry, logic and memory-chip manufacturers, including producers of DRAM and NAND memory.

Pay and ownership Proxy statement filed 28 January 2026

Chief executive’s pay

Year Total pay Actually paid $100 invested
2025 29.65m 86.97m 392.09
2024 27.80m 86.08m 316.48

Ownership

Directors and executive officers, together less than 1%
BlackRock, Inc. 9.69%

Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s shares at the start of the earliest year shown was worth at each year’s end. Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more. Read the proxy statement
