GAA Advanced Packaging Patent Snapshot 2026
Patent activity at the intersection of gate-all-around (GAA) transistor architecture and advanced packaging is nascent, with a single patent family on record as of the current corpus. AP Memory Technology Corporation is the sole filer, making this an effectively uncontested and very early-stage technical space.
AP Memory Technology holds the only filing in an essentially unoccupied field
The current corpus contains 1 patent family, filed by AP Memory Technology Corporation, which ranks first and alone among identified applicants. The top five filers account for the entirety of the ranked applicants visible in this query’ combined total, reflecting that the ranked population itself consists of a single entity.
There is no tier gap to describe in a conventional sense: no second-tier challenger has filed in this specific intersection of GAA technology and advanced packaging. The field is structurally open.

AP Memory Technology’s sole position signals either a very early proprietary stake in an emerging convergence area or a narrow claim that has not yet attracted broader industry response. Neither scenario reflects a mature competitive race.
The 2024 filing date falls within the publication-lag window; additional families filed in 2024 and 2025 may not yet be visible in the corpus. Longer-window growth, applicant concentration, and technology-route coverage are therefore more reliable signals than the latest-year bar alone.
A single 2024 filing marks the emergence of a previously inactive area
The annual filing trend and technology composition together characterise GAA advanced packaging as a field with no recorded activity before 2024 and a technology profile concentrated entirely in semiconductor device classifications.
Annual filing trend
Zero filings appear across 2017–2023; a single family was recorded in 2024. The 2024 and 2025 data points should be read cautiously given typical 18-to-24-month publication lag — the true volume of recent activity is likely undercounted.

All indexed activity falls under H01L (Semiconductor devices), specifically sub-classes H01L 23 and H01L 25 covering semiconductor device structures and assemblies. No adjacent IPC branches have been claimed yet, leaving the technology composition entirely within one primary class.

A semiconductor device includes a first substrate and a second substrate. The first substrate has a plurality of first-type transistors formed of planar-type transistors or fin-type transistors, wherein a gate silicon oxide layer of each of the planar-type transistors has a first thickness, and a gate silicon oxide layer of each of the fin-type transistors… (excerpt from the patent abstract)
Ranked by total forward citations. Citation counts favour older and broadly cited patent families, and broad or adjacent patents may appear when they match the search scope. Treat this section as citation context, not as a curated list of the most topic-specific patents. Some patent titles may be shown in their original, non-English language where an accurate translation could not be guaranteed.
Assignee snapshot from the current evidence set
The applicants below are visible in this query result. Because the evidence set is relatively small, read this section as a directional snapshot rather than a full competitive ranking.
AP Memory Technology Corporation
AP Memory Technology Corporation holds 1 patent family in this space, classified under H01L 23 and H01L 25 — semiconductor device structures and multi-chip assemblies. Their applicant momentum is flagged as a new entrant, indicating no prior-period base in this specific intersection. The single 2024 filing represents the entirety of known corporate activity in GAA advanced packaging.
patent families: 1No challenger identified
The current corpus does not contain a second-ranked applicant. Any organisation active in GAA transistor design or advanced heterogeneous integration that has not yet filed in this combined area represents a potential future challenger, but naming specific entities would go beyond available evidence.
patent families: —Frequently asked questions
The current corpus contains 1 patent family. This is an extremely nascent intersection, and additional families filed in 2024–2025 may not yet be publicly visible due to publication lag.
AP Memory Technology Corporation is the sole identified filer, holding the only patent family in the ranked corpus. No other applicant appears in available evidence.
All current activity is in the United States. No filings in other major semiconductor patent offices — including Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, China, or Europe — appear in the corpus.
The single family is classified under H01L (Semiconductor devices), specifically H01L 23 (semiconductor device structures) and H01L 25 (assemblies of multiple semiconductor devices). No other IPC classes are represented.
Based on the current corpus, the space is effectively open. Only one applicant and one patent family are on record. Any new entrant filing in this intersection would immediately become a co-leader by filing count, and most IPC sub-classes and geographic jurisdictions are unclaimed.
No filings are recorded from 2017 through 2023; a single family appeared in 2024. This pattern is consistent with a field at inception. The 2024 and 2025 windows are subject to publication lag, so the true volume of recent activity may be higher than currently indexed.

Patent data carries inherent limitations: recent filings (typically the most recent 18–24 months) are under-counted due to standard publication lag; counts may be reported at either a patent-family or a patent-record basis and are not always directly comparable; classification, applicant-name, and citation data may contain errors, duplicates, or omissions; and the underlying search query defines and constrains the scope shown. As a result, the analysis may be incomplete or inaccurate and may not reflect the full technology landscape.
