Vice President Lee said, "Optimization in all elements such as materials, design, and processes is essential due to semiconductor miniaturization," adding, "To realize automated fabs, it is important to build a collaborative ecosystem across various areas including equipment, parts, raw materials, infrastructure, and standards."
Kim Byung-guk, CEO of ESOL, who has been developing extreme ultraviolet (EUV) process solutions and equipment, introduced cases of equipment innovation through his lecture titled 'Challenges and Tasks in Domestic Production of EUV Equipment.' The final speaker, Lee Kyung-yeop, Secretary General of the National Nano Infrastructure Council, explained 'MoaFab (MoaFab: Fab Service Integrated Information System).' MoaFab is a system that gathers national nanofab services dispersed across various institutions into one place and provides them online.
Samsung Electronics has achieved the highest grade for 13 consecutive years for the first time among domestic companies in the '2023 Win-Win Growth Index Evaluation' selected by the Win-Win Growth Committee.
