New, cutting-edge facility will leverage the country's engineering talent pool to accelerate Lam's research and development of semiconductor manufacturing equipment & related technologies

BENGALURU, India, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lam Research Corp. (NASDAQ: LRCX) today celebrated the opening of the company's new India Center for Engineering in Bengaluru, the company's most advanced facility in the country to date. The new lab will focus on the research and development (R&D), engineering and testing of wafer fabrication hardware and software used in the creation of next-generation DRAM, NAND and logic technologies, and will be an integral part of the company's leading-edge global network of labs.

"We are proud to build on our long-standing presence in India with the opening of our new, world-class Center for Engineering," said Tim Archer, president and CEO of Lam Research. "This important facility is an expansion of Lam's R&D operations and will play a critical role in the creation of new technologies needed in a time of rising semiconductor manufacturing complexity. It enables us to capitalize on the tremendous pool of technical talent in India as we strive to solve our customers' biggest challenges."

At the new lab, engineers will span a range of disciplines, from plasma and materials science to artificial intelligence and software controls. Featuring state-of-the-art design and testing equipment, Lam engineers in India can design, test, and validate new deposition and etch technologies on site rather than sending them to other locations, thereby offering the potential to significantly shorten the design cycle. The new lab will also feature virtual reality facilities to connect with other engineers around the globe.
