SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 4, 2015 - Applied Materials, Inc. has been recognized
as one of 19 companies receiving Intel Corporation's Preferred Quality Supplier
(PQS) award for their performance in 2014. Applied demonstrated industry-leading

ethics systems, and environmental sustainability. Applied Materials is
recognized for their significant contributions providing Intel with wafer fab
capital equipment, mask capital equipment, fab automation software, and
services, deemed essential to Intel's success.
"We are extremely pleased to receive our fifth consecutive Intel Preferred
Quality Supplier Award," said Dr. Randhir Thakur, executive vice president and
general manager of the Silicon Systems Group at Applied Materials. "As we
celebrate the 50th anniversary of Moore's Law this year, the semiconductor
industry is experiencing monumental inflections enabled by new device designs
and materials innovation. We are committed to providing Intel with high-quality
products and exceptional levels of support to address these inflections and move

Intel's Fab Equipment group. "Applied Materials provided Intel with exceptional
support for our technology and ramp activities, in addition to a demonstrated
commitment to operational excellence. We look forward to Applied Materials'
continued success on future Intel technologies."
The PQS award is part of Intel's Supplier Continuous Quality Improvement (SCQI)
program that encourages suppliers to strive for excellence and continuous
improvement. To qualify for PQS status, suppliers must score 80 percent on a
report card that assesses performance and ability to meet cost, quality,
availability, technology, environmental, social and governance goals. Suppliers
must also achieve 80 percent or greater on a challenging improvement plan and
demonstrate solid quality and business systems. Additional information about the
SCQI program is available at http://intel.com/go/quality.
A celebration to honor PQS award winners was held in Santa Clara, California
