AP Systems' New Semiconductor Orders Exceed 100 Billion Won

What happened

AP Systems said on Nov. 10 that new orders for its semiconductor business had exceeded 100 billion won as of November, about 1.5 times the division's revenue of 65.2 billion won last year, with revenue from the orders to be recognized through 2027. The growth was driven by increased orders for rapid thermal processing (RTP) equipment, one of the company's core technologies; AP Systems entered the semiconductor RTP market with its KORONA RTP 800, jointly developed with Samsung Electronics beginning in 1999, and the equipment is supplied for NAND flash and DRAM manufacturing processes. The company said it has expanded its market share among South Korean memory chipmakers as RTP equipment is increasingly adopted in front-end manufacturing, and has broadened its portfolio to include RTP systems for next-generation DRAM and automation equipment, adding that if customers continue expanding capacity there is significant potential for additional deliveries to similar processes within the same fab. AP Systems has also begun supplying laser-based semiconductor equipment and aims to raise the semiconductor business's share of total revenue to 30% by 2030, up from less than 20% currently. The company separately said on Nov. 6 that consolidated third-quarter revenue totaled 488.2 billion won with operating profit of 31.6 billion won, most of it from OLED-related businesses.
