A few days ago, global and leading nanometer manufacturing technology enterprise Applied Materials signed the scientific research project subsidy agreement of solar energy with Nankai University, Zhejiang University, offer the support of photovoltaic scientific research for these two famous institutions of higher learning of China.

Executive vice president of Applied Materials, vice cheif technology officer Omkaram Nalamasu doctor show: "The solar energy is a very good chance to China and the United States. It can meet the energy demand for increasing constantly, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, benefit economic development too at the same time. We very honoured to can enter into cooperation at the scientific research project of solar energy by two famous universities of China. As the apparatus enterprises of solar energy, Applied Materials knows very well research work to reducing the importance of the cost of solar energy constantly. It was Applied Materials that entered China for the 25th anniversary this year, we hoped this cooperation can combine our industry experience and scientific research strength of the university, bear the rich achievement. "

Nankai University Professor Zhao Ying shows: "We can offer support to our solar energy scientific research project to thank Applied Materials very much. Nankai University has stronger photovoltaic scientific research ability, this of ours will be successful win-win cooperation. "

Zhejiang University Professor Yang DeRen shows: "We are very glad Applied Materials can choose Zhejiang University to carry on this cooperation. Applied Materials is that global and leading semiconductor, flat panel display and solar energy make a equipment supplier, and Zhejiang University is the famous university of China, there is stronger capability in the fields of semiconductor, electron and photovoltaic. We believe this must be successful cooperation. "

Applied Materials is a global and leading nanometer manufacturing technology enterprise. The extensive products of company include the apparatus, service and software innovated, they are applied to semiconductor chip, flat panel display, solar battery, flexible electronic product and energy-conserving vitreous manufacture.

In 2006, the company claimed to enter the market of photovoltaic apparatus of solar energy, added an exciting one for the enviromental protection of the world. The solar energy strategy of the company aims at realizing the more low-cost solar battery makes the solution, important alternative energy source enabling the sun to become global. After entering the market of solar energy, Applied Materials has obtained the multiple solar energy technological innovation awards that enjoy high reputation, including general global energy Grand Prix (Platts Global Energy Award) And " The Wall Street Journal " scientific award (Wall Street Journal Technology Award) . In 2008, Applied Materials global photovoltaic cell in VLSI research institution will rank the first while making equipment supplier's rank.
