Introduction

• Until early 1980s, the semiconductor industryconsisted only of factories assembling discrete devicesfor foreign companies.

• Then Samsung, Hyundai, and Goldstar invested in VLSI

mass production facilities and achieved remarkablegrowth n both output and new product development.

• As a result , many countries have recently showninterest in the technological development andcompetitiveness of the Korean industry.

• Beginning with wafer fabrication, the Koreansemiconductor industry evolved from an assembly-oriented enterprise to a technology-intensive business.

Major Government Policies• The joint development policy of semiconductor technology started in 1986 still remains in effect, albeit with

some slight changes made to how the policy is implemented.

• In policies for technologies other than semiconductor technology, there are no such precedents where thegovernment gets involved by forming a consortium on a step-by-step basis in the long term perspective.

Major R&D Support Centers

• R&D-based centers supporting research and development for next generation new technologies are in

operation across the country. Some major universities also operate educational centers designed to train

technology-related personnel.

Current Status of Korea's Semiconductor

Industry(1/4)

• Korea's market share inthe world memorysemiconductor markethas exceeded 50%.

• According to the Ministryof Knowledge Economyon September 7, 2010,the semiconductor export

of August set a recordhigh of USD 4.740 billion,64.9% higher than thesame period last year.

Developments in Korean Semiconductor Technology

Although the Korean semiconductor industry is

currently in a transition period to system IC

from memory, it is still marked by individual

members pursuing different lines of business

with conflicting R&D policies.

• strategic partnership(2009-2011)

Korea-US FTA as opportunity

source technology (from the

U.S.) with application-specific

technology (from Korea)

matching funds developed by

participating governments,corporates and institutes to

form an "international

cooperative consortium in

conjunction with domestic R&D

projects.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the Semiconductor Industry

• during 2006 amounted to

USD1.56 billion, the highest level

of foreign investment in the

production of any single item.• 4.7% of GDP

• 20.5% of the output of

manufacturing industry alone.

11



Conclusion

• As Korea has been widely recognized as having

excellent technology and become a leader in the

global semiconductor market, it continually

attracts investments from overseas.• In particular, a large pool of semiconductor

professionals and a bright market outlook have

made Korea the most attractive investment targetfor global semiconductor enterprises.
