Prospect Of Korean Semiconductor Industry

Summary form only given. The close cooperation between the government, academic institutions, and cooperations raised the competitive power of the Korean semiconductor industry. With such hard efforts, the Korean semiconductor industry has enhanced the introduction of the next generation DRAMs and contributed greatly to the development of semiconductor equipments, materials, and processes. Along with the memory devices, system LSI has become an important sector in the semiconductor industry. The demand for system LSI is increasing continuously but the infra-structure to support those demands is still immature. Thus, memory devices still remain to be the major product in the Korean semiconductor industry.
