Applied Materials: The Path to Production: Enabling the Next Generation of Photonic Devices with Materials Engineering

For over 50 years, materials engineering innovations have propelled the semiconductor industry to deliver the exponential capabilities that have transformed the world’s technology and economic landscape. These same capabilities are increasingly relevant to enable other global inflections including lightweight, miniaturized, high-performance light guides, flat optics, and full optical solutions. This talk explores the critical technology roadmap needs required to enable all-day wearable augmented reality glasses and how materials engineering can pave the way for ubiquitous adoption through high volume manufacturing solutions.
