Korean semiconductor giants’ recent noticeable movements in the global market

New expectations are being created in the Korean semiconductor industry. Semiconductors are playing a vital role in the recovery of the nation’s industry competitiveness, given the face that Chinese companies are competing strongly in Korea’s major export industries – including smartphones, shipbuilding and steel. In addition, global advanced enterprises in the United States and Europe are asserting technological superiority over Korean makers in medical, software, and aerospace industries.

Industry-Trends

Industry-Trends_1 Samsung Electronics, last month, said that it has launched massproduction of “three-bit V Nand Flash Memory” for the first time in the world. The memory is ten nano class of 128Gb product and boasts excellence in terms of processing speed, power efficiency, and size. That means the global tech giant can obtain at least two years of technological gap over its competitors including Toshiba.

SK Hynix also started mass-production of SSD (Solid State Drive), a next generation storage device replaceable of HDD (Hard Disk Drive), by using a onelevel of improved micro-process technology, and it has begun delivering them to two large server companies in the United States.

Samsung Electronics is overwhelming competitors in the global market, with its unparalleled V Nand memory, a technology allowing semiconductor chips to be stored vertically. SK Hynix is now ahead of overseas memory makers, with its micro-processing (by making the semiconductor’s circuit thickness thinner).

LG Electronics is also broadening its presence in the market by spurring in its efforts in the development of system semiconductors for vehicles.

A spokesperson of the MOTIE (Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy), recently disclosed the factor behind such successful drives led by Korean semiconductor makers, by saying that “Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix’s technologies concerning semiconductor processing are now at the top position in the world market”, and “the current remarkable result is wholly attributable to the consistent and massive investment on the areas led by the Korean leading tech makers.

LG Innotek recently succeeded in mass-producing ultraviolet (UV) LED (Light-Emitting Diodes). So far, LED has been applied to general lighting, the application of LED, and thanks to the company’s improvement in technology, could be expanded into a greater diversity of areas including purifiers, water purifiers, and sterilizers.
