AP Memory Broadens S-SiCap™? Technology Deployment to Support Evolving Ai and Hpc Needs AP Memory announced further advancements in its S-SiCapTM (Stack Silicon Capacitor) product line to address the increasing integration demands of AI servers and high-performance computing (HPC) systems. The S-SiCapTM portfolio includes two product categories --disc discrete silicon capacitors and interposers with silicon capacitors -- designed to support different system architectures and diverse application requirements. The discrete silicon capacitors, S-SiCapTM Gen4, achieves a capacitance density of 3.8 mF/mm2, an increase of more than 50% over the previous generation. To meet the growing demand for higher performance and power efficiency in AI servers and HPC systems, S-SiCapTMGen4 is the first to adopt embedded substrate packaging and is currently in the sampling and process validation stage. Mass production will be introduced progressively starting in 2026. Meanwhile, the S-SiCapTM Interposer utilizes a silicon wafer as its substrate, embedding high-density silicon capacitors within the interposer. This significantly enhances signal integrity and power stability for high-speed I/O applications such as die-to-die, SerDes, and HBM. In collaboration with supply-chain partners, AP Memory has introduced a reticle-stitching technology to enlarge interposer die area allowing more IC chiplets to meet the growing demand for higher-integration advanced packaging solutions. The S-SiCap™? Interposer has completed customer packaging and reliability validation, entering four-reticle mass production at the end of Third Quarter'25. Additional development projects are currently underway. Reported Earnings • Nov 04

AP Memory Technology Corp. Launches ApSRAM - A New Low-Power and High-Performance PSRAM AP Memory announced that its next-generation PSRAM--ApSRAM (Attached-pSRAM)-- has successfully passed customer validation and is scheduled to begin mass production by the end of the year. ApSRAMTM is an advanced version of AP Memory's PSRAM (Pseudo Static Random Access Memory), featuring a new architecture optimized for edge computing and IoT applications. ApSRAMTM delivers a powerful combination of low power consumption, low latency, and high performance. ApSRAMTM adopts a more intuitive control interface that eliminates the need for complex signal calibration, while still effectively supporting higher bandwidth requirements. Compared with conventional PSRAM, ApSRAMTM delivers up to four times the bandwidth and reduces dynamic power consumption to just one-fifth, making it particularly suitable for battery-sensitive devices such as wearables and edge computing applications, where both low power consumption and real-time data exchange are essential. ApSRAMTM enables SoCs to scale memory capacity without requiring redesign, offering density options from 128Mb to 2Gb. It supports I/O voltages from 0.6V to 1.1V, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of logic processes and simplifying system integration. The first ApSRAMTM product is now sampling and will enter mass production by year-end. AP Memory also plans to roll out additional density options to meet the evolving requirements of emerging applications and diverse market needs. Major Estimate Revision • Aug 10

AP Memory Technology Corporation Announces New Generation Stack Silicon Capacitor (S-Sicap) Gen3 Passed Customer Validation AP Memory Technology Corporation announced that the new generation stack silicon capacitor (S-SiCapTM) Gen3 has passed customer validation. S-SiCapTM is a high capacitance density and very low profile (<100um thin) silicon capacitor that can be integrated with System-on-Chip (SoC) with advanced packaging processes. The product can also be customized to meet the application requirements of high-end smartphones and High-Performance Computing (HPC) chips. AP Memory's S-SiCapTM uses a stacked capacitor, offering higher capacitance density, smaller size and thinner form factor compared to deep trench capacitors. The capacitance density of S-SiCapTM Gen3 can reach 2.5uF/mm2, with a maximum operating voltage of 1.2V and demonstrate excellent temperature and voltage stability. Additionally, it has low equivalent series inductance (ESL) and low equivalent series resistance (ESR), providing outstanding voltage stability during high-frequency operation. S-SiCapTM provides low profile and customizable product dimensions. In advanced packaging processes, it can meet various integration applications and be placed closer to SoC. For example: S-SiCapTM on the landside, S-SiCapTM embedded in package substrate, S-SiCapTM for 2.5D packaging, and S-SiCapTM in an interposer. AP Memory's President, Hong Chih-Hsun, notes that considering the trend of high-end mobile phones and HPC applications, SoCs need to deliver higher performance. However, this may come with increased power consumption and voltage instability. If customers aim for stable voltage operation in these applications, they will need more robust capacitor technology. AP Memory's S-SiCapTM Gen3 surpasses traditional capacitor technology by providing higher capacitance density, lower profile, and greater application versatility; all of which significantly enhance SoC performance in advanced packaging processes.

New Risk • Oct 11
New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of Taiwanese stocks, typically moving 7.8% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Major Estimate Revision • Aug 07

AP Memory Launches Brand-New Product Series of 512Mb Ultra-High-Speed (UHS) and 32Mb Ultra-Low-Swing (ULS) PSRAM AP Memory has announced the launch of its new Ultra High Speed (UHS) and Ultra Low Swing (ULS) PSRAM. AP Memory rolls out AP351216C/AP351208, to further expand the density of AP Memory's UHS products series to 512Mb, and AP43208B, the industry's first ultra-low power 32Mb ULS product. AP Memory's new UHS/ULS products serve as memory solutions that support high density and low power consumption, meeting the needs of modern IoT applications such as new generation edge computing, smart home, smart wearable device, 5G communication, Timing Controller (TCON), etc.AP Memory is the first in the industry to introduce UHS/ULS PSRAM memory. Compared to traditional PSRAM and DRAM memory solution, UHS/ULS product series provides advanced memory features such as high transfer rate (5x more bandwidth compare to PSRAM), low power consumption (3x less compare to DRAM) and low pin count (3x less compare to DRAM). AP Memory's UHS/ULS product series enable design simplification while meeting form factor constraints and upgrade system and function performance of compacted IoT applications. When operating at the frequency at 1066Mhz, the power consumption of UHS product can save power consumption up to 40% comparing to LPDRAM, with power consumption at a very low level of 62mW, which significantly improves wearable devices' battery life. Furthermore, the newly released ULS products uses lower I/O voltages compare to traditional PSRAMs, further reducing memory power consumption, making ULS a new advantageous option for ultra-low-power memory solution. On top of this, as System on Chip (SoC) continues to migrate to advanced node process, the I/O voltage of SoC is gradually decreasing. UHS/ULS products can interconnect with SoC without a voltage converter, and due to its low pin count feature, it further reduces the complexity and cost of IoT product design.
