Furiosa AI, a Korean AI chip startup, is set to begin mass production of its first integrated circuit this month. Founded in 2017 by June Paik, the company is making strides in the competitive AI chip market.
Researchers from Kyungpook National University and Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute have published a study on the effects of proton radiation on tin oxide, specifically focusing on its implications for space electronics. The study investigates the impact of varying fluences of proton irradiation on SnO2-x FETs.
Researchers from Chonnam National University have addressed the performance limitations of thin-film solar cells made from tin monosulfide (SnS) by introducing a germanium oxide layer at the rear contact interface. This innovation reduces defects and unwanted reactions, potentially enhancing the efficiency of these solar cells.
Nexeon has successfully commissioned its silicon-based electrode material plant in South Korea, aimed at enhancing the energy density and charging speed of lithium-ion batteries. The facility in Gunsan is now set for qualification processes.
By 2030, Korean chipmakers are expected to lead in AI memory and enhance their positions in foundry and packaging markets. This growth will also allow them to make significant inroads into the analog and power IC sectors, increasing their profitability and global footprint.
Korea University has developed MUTE-Seq, an advanced liquid-biopsy method utilizing a highly precise CRISPR enzyme that can detect low-frequency cancer mutations with remarkable accuracy. This method enhances the visibility of mutant signals significantly by eliminating wild-type DNA prior to sequencing.
Veeco Instruments Inc. has secured contracts with Sparrow Quantum in Denmark and Yeungnam University in South Korea for its Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) systems, enhancing their quantum research capabilities. This development underscores Veeco's role as a key player in advancing quantum computing technology.
SurplusGLOBAL has held a topping-out ceremony for Building B of its Yongin Namsa Cluster, which will serve as the world's largest offline mall for legacy semiconductor equipment and parts. This marks a significant milestone in the development of the SemiMarket Parts Mall.
Korea's Fair Trade Commission has conducted a raid on Arm's Seoul office in connection with Qualcomm's allegations of unfair market practices. This incident highlights ongoing tensions in the semiconductor licensing landscape.
