[Asia Economy Reporter Minwoo Lee] Shares of Javis, a specialist company in X-ray inspection equipment, are on the rise. The news that Javis has developed the world's first equipment to inspect internal defects in the core semiconductor process amid an expected semiconductor shortage appears to have been highlighted.
As of 2:20 PM on the 26th, Javis's stock price recorded 3,080 KRW, up 14.93% compared to the previous day. Amid global governments urging the Taiwanese government to increase semiconductor supply, the news that Javis supplies equipment that inspects defects in semiconductor processes seems to have acted as a positive factor.
According to foreign media such as the Nihon Keizai Shimbun on the same day, as the supply of automotive semiconductors is globally insufficient, governments of countries including the United States, Germany, and Japan have requested the Taiwanese government to increase semiconductor supply since the end of last year. The Taiwanese Ministry of Economic Affairs is reported to have already urged companies like TSMC and UMC to expedite the expansion of automotive semiconductor production.
Previously, Javis was recognized as a semiconductor materials, parts, and equipment (SoBuJang) company after reportedly developing the world's first 'inline' X-ray inspection equipment that inspects internal defects in the core semiconductor process.
