Applied Materials partners up with BOE Technology

California-based Applied Materials Inc, a leading semiconductor, display and solar photovoltaic equipment manufacturer, has further cemented its presence in China by teaming up with China-based BOE Technology Group Co, the largest flat panel display manufacturer in China.

The partnership was formed when BOE placed significant orders for advanced display production equipment from Applied Materials in support of demand at multiple facilities in China.

Applied Materials' PiVot physical vapor deposition and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition systems selected by BOE provide high-performance, cost-effective solutions to manufacturing high-resolution amorphous silicon, metal oxide and low temperature poly-silicon displays, the company said in a news release.
