Not just volume and production, APM maintains superior quality and reliability through systematic methods and tools. |
|
We care about quality and reliability. In order to meet the TS16949 and ISO9001 certification, APM went through extensive training, and enhanced the work process and problem solving methodology. With an internal failure analysis laboratory, APM makes the cause-finding efficient, and therefore enhances process development and quality control. APM has been working with tier-1 automotive customer for years, and shipped millions of MEMS devices in this quality-conscious industry. The implanted mindset of superior quality throughout APM organization has been a key factor leading to its success in high volume production, short development cycle, and high customer satisfaction. |

 Quality and failure analysis |
 |
| Having been focusing on the MEMS production since day one, we understand how crucial the quality is to customers. In order to fulfill the stringent quality requirement, APM has gone through extensive trainings to enhance the working process and problem solving methodology such as statistic data analysis, PFMEA , and Ford 8D approach. Through continuous practice, to achieve superior quality has become APM’s mindset and culture, which not only fulfills the requirements from our automotive customers, but also strongly benefits those in other applications. With millions of automotive grade MEMS devices shipped to the first tier automotive customer, APM has proved itself to be a world leading MEMS open foundry that can assure quality and volume production at the same time. |

>> Failure Analysis
Capability |
APM has internal Failure Analysis
Lab for the purpose of identification of defect modes, trouble
shooting of failure processes, and tuning of process recipes. In
addition, APM also works with external laboratories for intensive
failure analysis and reliability testing services. These external
laboratories have comprehensive equipments and tools, and are
located in Hsinchu Science Park. The collaboration with local
vendors facilitates complete analysis capability and fast turnaround
time for diverse needs from various customers. |
