Request the 333 etch / ALD / CVD process seats
Applied Materials 213 plus Lam Research 120. Overlay, field CE, and facilities are out.
How the unit process is cut: etch in, ALD/CVD in, overlay out
How it is built
This page reads the etch / ALD / CVD process seat at Applied Materials and Lam Research. 333 / 60 adds these two equipment names only.
How titles classify
In: dry etch, dielectric deposition, ALD, CVD. Lam's Dry Etch layer is 120. Explicit outs: overlay metrology, field CE, facilities.
Who compares to whom
Applied Materials 213 versus 34. Lam Research 120 versus 26. Austin 19 and Santa Clara 19 against Fremont 14.
Outside this slice
AMAT on this page is Applied Materials, not Applied Intuition. Etch Finance is not here, and neither is Cadence HAV.
Austin 19 and Santa Clara 19 against Fremont 14
Applied Materials' two thickest named cities tie: Austin 19, Santa Clara 19. Lam Research's thickest named city is Fremont 14.
Applied Materials 213 dry-etch / dielectric seats
As of August 26, 2026, 6:50 a.m. PT (8/26), Applied Materials maps 213 current etch / ALD / CVD process seats against Lam Research 120, with 60 open jobs on that slice.
Applied Materials maps 213 current etch / ALD / CVD process seats. This page reads the unit-process seat at two wafer-equipment names; it does not lead with company-wide totals.
Lam Research maps 120 current. The two add 213 + 120 = 333.
Headline open jobs are 60. Applied Materials maps 34 jobs; Lam Research maps 26. This is a talent-flow contrast.
Austin 19, Santa Clara 19, and Fremont 14 come in later sections. The citeable pair is 213 versus 120.
Lam Research 120 Dry Etch seats, 26 jobs
Lam Research maps 120 current seats. The people side is Dry Etch Process Engineer; the job book sits on etch and CVD.
AMAT on this page is Applied Materials
Headline 333 / 60 adds the unit-process seat at these two equipment names only. Overlay metrology, field customer engineers, facilities, and foundry integration are out.

Request the 333 etch / ALD / CVD process seats
The same methodology exports the unit-process mapped current and jobs. Etch is not ALD/CVD. The crossed tiles are the explicit outs.
Of Lam's 26 jobs, Taiwan holds 15
Only 2 of Lam Research's 26 jobs are in the United States; Taiwan 15, Korea 4. The bench is thicker in the US; the job book is thicker in Taiwan.
Applied US 138, Lam US 74
Applied Materials current 213 includes United States 138. Lam Research current 120 includes United States 74.
333 / 60 is two process names added
Function slice
Title / function tokens: etch, or ALD, or CVD, or dry etch, or dielectric deposition. Seat-family samples (no names published): Lam Research current EIC Dry Etch / Dry Etch Process Engineer / Dry Etch Focus Engineer; jobs Etch Process Technologist- Manager / TW Engineer - FS II, CVD. Applied Materials current Dry Etch Process Manager / Dry Etch PSE Manager / Sr. Dry Etch Process Engineer; jobs Module Process Engineer IV - Dielectric Deposition (CVD / ALD) / PVD/CVD/ALD Supplier Engineer III Senior. Etch Finance, overlay metrology, field CE, facilities, foundry integration, and Cadence HAV were not used. Company-wide Applied Materials or Lam Research was not used.
Current and open jobs
The figures are profiles Metix maps as currently employed at that company name, and visible open jobs mapped to that name, not official headcount.
Names
Lam Research is the lamresearch.com Fremont company record (8527948). Counts are id-only on that record; listed-name totals are not published as headcount. A bare Lam name collides. Applied Materials is appliedmaterials.com, Santa Clara (8702563), id-only. A bare Applied name collides with Applied Intuition (12526788, appliedintuition.com); that record was discarded and is not a mapped company on this page.
