The Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) announced the "Semiconductor Future Technology Roadmap" at Eltower in Seoul on May 9 (Tuesday) and launched the "Semiconductor Future Technology Public-Private Collaborative Group" to share the technological trends of major semiconductor companies and their R&D achievements in the semiconductor field.

Amid fierce global competition for semiconductor technology supremacy, major countries such as the U.S., Taiwan, Europe, Japan, and China are gathering their capabilities at the national level to foster the industry and national security. In response, the Korean government recently announced the R&D strategy for three key technologies, including semiconductors, displays, and next-generation batteries (2023 April), and agreed to strengthen cooperation on advanced technologies including semiconductors at the Korea-U.S. Summit (2023 April) and the Korea-Japan Summit (2023 May).

As a follow-up measure to actively implement these agreements, MSIT today announced the details of the "Semiconductor Future Technology Roadmap," a strategy for securing future core technologies, at a gathering of semiconductor experts from industry, academia, research institutes, and government, and established the "Semiconductor Future Technology Public-Private Collaborative Group," which will strategically support semiconductor R&D by pooling public and private capabilities.

The "Semiconductor Future Technology Roadmap" is a 10-year plan to secure future core technologies for ▲ developing new memory and next-generation devices (10), ▲ developing original semiconductor design technologies for AI, 6G, power, and automotive (24), and ▲ developing original process technologies for ultra-micronization and advanced packaging (11). This roadmap will serve as a guide for Korea to maintain a leading edge in semiconductor technology and secure a new edge in system semiconductors.

The roadmap was established in May last year with the participation of industry, academia, and research institutes. It is significant in that the roadmap is the first blueprint for semiconductor technology development in Korea. MSIT will continue to enhance the roadmap and set the direction of semiconductor R&D based on it.

At the event, Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, Sapion Korea, RFHIC, Wonik IPS, and Amkor Korea presented and discussed the latest technology trends related to semiconductors. In addition, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) introduced the semiconductor technology roadmap (IRDS) in a video and shared international research directions. "Semiconductor Achievement Exhibition" was also held at EL Tower to inform the public of government-supported semiconductor research achievements and share the importance of science and technology through on-site communication.

Minister Jong-ho Lee emphasized, "By establishing the Semiconductor Future Technology Public-Private Collaborative Group, we plan to create an R&D ecosystem in which all major organizations in the government, industry, academia, and research will participate to enable full-time and continuous cooperation." "The government will strategically promote R&D based on the Semiconductor Future Technology Roadmap in future semiconductor technology policies and business directions," he said. "Following semiconductors, we will quickly launch future technology public-private collaborative group in the fields of displays and next-generation batteries, to help unite national capabilities for the three main technologies."
