Lam Research Corporation is an American supplier of wafer-fabrication equipment and related services to the semiconductor industry.[2] Its products are used primarily in front-end wafer processing, which involves the steps that create the active components of semiconductor devices (transistors, capacitors) and their wiring (interconnects). The company also builds equipment for back-end wafer-level packaging (WLP) and for related manufacturing markets such as for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).

Lam Research was founded in 1980 by David K. Lam and is headquartered in Fremont, California.[3] As of 2023, it was the third largest manufacturer in the Bay Area, after Tesla and Intuitive Surgical.[4]
