1815 ET - Sales to China played a role in boosting Applied Materials' revenue in the third quarter, and are expected to keep growing, CFO Brice Hill says on a call Thursday. Across the company's two main segments--semiconductor systems and applied global services--China represented 26% of revenue, he says. The company's China revenue should grow this calendar year, boosted by investments in the 28-nanometer foundry-logic process, Hill says, and continue growing next year. Shares are off 5% at $508.00 after-hours.
