UCLA expands EPIC research
The UCLA collaboration covers 3D chip scaling, advanced packaging and new materials for energy-efficient AI computing. Researchers will use Applied Materials equipment in a commercial fabrication environment, with the EPIC Center on track to become operational in 2026, the company said in the release carried by StockTitan.
Three partnerships set the timeline
On September 29, 2026, KIOXIA joined the EPIC Center for memory structures, chip stacking and packaging, while capital spending is expected to scale to USD 5.00 billion, according to StockTitan. On October 1, 2026, Besi joined as an innovation partner for advanced packaging, with the same USD 5.00 billion EPIC Center investment cited in the release carried by GlobeNewswire. The UCLA announcement on October 8, 2026 completed the latest three-date sequence.
What does the center mean for results?
Applied Materials reported USD 9.12 billion of revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 and USD 3.50 of earnings per share, compared with USD 3.40 consensus earnings per share, according to Investing.com. That comparison places the research announcements beside a recent operating result, while the collaborations themselves remain development programs rather than disclosed equipment orders.
