Applied Materials' Bronson on Chip-Equipment Industry: Comment By Cesca Antonelli San Francisco, Feb. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Applied Materials Inc. Chief Financial Officer Joseph Bronson commented on the semiconductor-manufacturing equipment industry at the Banc of America Securities Technology Week conference in San Francisco. Applied Materials, the biggest semiconductor-equipment supplier, expects strong growth as computer-chip companies expand capacity and install new technologies. On the industry's recovery: ``We're in the early to mid-stages of the upturn. We're seeing continued recovery, particularly in Asia, and very strong communications (industry) growth and applications growth for integrated circuits.' On chipmakers' transition to copper wires: ``The next wave is the move to new materials, and certainly this is copper-based devices. It's a difficult transition, a risky proposition, and companies are taking it conservatively as we expected them to. It's going to be three to four years before copper is the predominant material.'
