Unlike IC foundries, the work interaction between MEMS foundry and the customer is different. Because of highly customized effort for each unique device, it will require closer cooperation between the chip designer and the wafer manufacturing foundry to realize well-functional MEMS device. Over the years, APM accumulates extensive experiences in MEMS wafer production, which allows us further understanding what the customers are looking for and how we can serve them better. We welcome you to contact us for your inquiry and teaming up with us for highly potential of MEMS product. You can count on our MEMS processing expertise to assist you achieving your business success.
>> Expertise - Over 25 years of professional experience in MEMS technology -
Accumulating over 20 years of experience in MEMS development and production, APM ranks one of top 10 MEMS foundries in the world. With a long history working in the process development of diverse MEMS devices, in contrast to no or little experience of newly built MEMS foundries, we can better understand the problems you may encounter and then provide promptly professional technical advice or assistance in your project. Having valuable experience and knowledge in the field of MEMS production, we hope to become your preferred professional MEMS foundry partner

>> Customer’s IP Protection and Project Management Process - Systematically approach in MEMS development and holding customer’s intellectual property in high regard -
APM holds every customer's intellectual property in high regard and carefully manage its operation procedure to protect each client's proprietary design and information. In addition, targeting the nature of highly customized MEMS product development, internally, APM has created its new product development procedure called APM Product Introduction Process (APIP), to systematically work toward the goals of the customer's MEMS development plan according to different stages of its project.
>> One-stop Shopping - Benefits from agglomeration economies to reduce development time and costs -
Hsinchu Science Park in Taiwan, has a complete electrical and electronic supply chain in the world and can offer the demand of vertical integration of any electronics product. This overall infrastructure in the area can provide the customers one-stop shopping to reduce transportation and logistics costs and precious time in production development and manufacturing. In particular, of highly fragmented MEMS industry, it requires closer integration of upstream and downstream suppliers to be competitive. APM can provide recommendations and referrals beyond the wafer level processing in a timely manner when needed, to assist the customer successfully reaching mass production of MEMS product.
