Innovation and R&D

Memory Technology and AI Integration Platform

Automotive and High-Performance Markets: In response to the growth of the automotive market, Etron utilizes innovative circuit design to break through the physical limitations of traditional
DRAM, pioneering LRTDRAM™ (Long Retention Time DRAM) technology that complies with JEDEC standards. It significantly enhances performance in high-temperature and high-capacity
applications such as automotive, heterogeneous integration, and KGD.

Micro-Terminal AI Applications: Etron leads the world in launching RPC DRAM® using Wafer Level Chip Scale Package (WLCSP). With only half the pin count of standard types, it is currently the
smallest micro-DRAM offering x16 DDR3 SDRAM high bandwidth. It features both cost and power consumption advantages, making it suitable for industrial, robotics, AR/VR, edge AI, and wearable
devices.

One-Stop Platform: Developing the “AI+DRAM Heterogeneous Integration Platform” to assist in minimizing ASIC design; and launching the one-stop innovative AI memory platform “MemorAiLink”
at the end of 2023, integrating memory, IP, and packaging technologies to help customers shorten product time-to-market.
