[Featured Stock] Femtron Localizes Foreign-Monopoly Semiconductor Inspection Equipment... 'Little Goyoung's Presence Rises'

Pemtron is showing strong performance. Interest in semiconductor inspection equipment companies has increased as Gigavis, a semiconductor circuit inspection equipment company newly listed on the KOSDAQ market, surged.

As of 10:39 a.m. on the 24th, Pemtron is trading at 13,470 KRW, up 3.06% from the previous day.

Advanced 3D inspection fusion solution company Pemtron announced that it has received customer quality certification from a major domestic semiconductor company for its 3D automatic inspection machine for memory modules, ‘MARS’.

The memory module automatic inspection machine ‘MARS’ is a domestically produced 3D automatic inspection device that has localized foreign equipment which had long held a monopoly in the semiconductor inspection market. It performs the final inspection before shipping the manufactured memory modules to customers. By using 2D and 3D inspection algorithms, it can simultaneously inspect the top and bottom surfaces of memory modules, simplifying the product process and improving inspection speed and accuracy.

The company plans to strengthen marketing to semiconductor companies through technological competitiveness in the 3D automatic inspection market with MARS’s ▲protrusion detection/measurement function via 3D inspection technology ▲automatic cleaning function for PCB substrates and TRAY ▲remote monitoring system function.

A Pemtron representative said, "We recently received customer quality certification from a major domestic semiconductor company, delivered prototypes immediately, and are proceeding smoothly with applying it to mass production," adding, "Mass production of MARS has also started according to the customer’s schedule."

He continued, "Along with MARS mass production and the recovery of the semiconductor market in the second half of the year, we expect to fully achieve our management goals for the second half of this year."

Founded in 2002, Pemtron was established by CEO Youngwoong Yoo, who previously worked at Hyundai Motor Company and Medison Research Institute. In the semiconductor industry, it is called the ‘Little Kogyoung’ due to its similarity to Kogyoung Technology (Kogyoung), the global No. 1 company in the 3D SMT sector. When it was listed last year, Kogyoung was also cited as its peer group.
