Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Applied’s provision for income taxes and effective tax rate are affected by the geographical composition of pre-tax income which includes jurisdictions with differing tax rates, conditional reduced tax rates and other income tax incentives. It is also affected by events that are not consistent from period to period, such as changes in income tax laws and the resolution of prior years’ income tax filings. On December 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Consolidated Appropriations Act and on March 11, 2021, it enacted the American Rescue Plan. The enactment of these Acts does not result in any material adjustments to Applied’s provision for income taxes. Applied’s effective tax rates for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020 were 13.9 percent and 14.0 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 included establishment of valuation allowance related to the Kokusai Electric termination fee. A valuation allowance of $19 million was recorded to recognize only the portion of the termination fee deferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, could be adjusted in future quarters if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period change. Applied’s effective tax rates for the first half of fiscal 2021 and 2020 were 11.7 percent and 12.5 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the first half of fiscal 2021 was lower than the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to a tax benefit related to severance and related charges recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. This tax benefit was partially offset by the reduction in excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and the valuation allowance noted above recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2021.
