Celebrating the 14th Semiconductor Day and the 30th Anniversary of the Semiconductor Association
Up to 52 rewards in history, and the highest honor rating will be raised to the gold tower.
The "14th Semiconductor Day" and "30th Anniversary of the Foundation of the Korea Semiconductor Industry Association" events were held at COEX in Seoul on the morning of the 22nd, giving rewards to 52 people of merit, the largest number ever. The Gold Tower Order of Industrial Merit, the highest honor, was won by Samsung Electronics President Lee Jung-bae.
The 14th Semiconductor Day and the 30th Anniversary of the Korea Semiconductor Industry Association were held at COEX in Seoul in the morning, attended by some 300 industry, academic and research officials from the semiconductor sector, including Industry Minister Moon Seung-wook, Korea Semiconductor Industry Association President Lee Jung-bae, and SK Hynix President Lee Seok-hee.

According to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, "Semiconductor Day" has been held every October since 2008 since October 1994 when Korea's semiconductor exports surpassed $10 billion a year for the first time, but this year, it was delayed by a month to November in consideration of the Corona 19 situation.
At the event, a government reward was given to 52 people of merit in the semiconductor industry who made strenuous efforts to develop the Korean semiconductor industry in connection with "Semiconductor Day."

This year, the government's reward was the largest ever with 52. The highest honor was upgraded from the silver tower to the gold tower last year. This is due to the increase in the size of government rewards and the upgrade of the discipline for those who have contributed to the development of the semiconductor industry, which was included in the 'K-semiconductor strategy' announced in May.
Lee Jung-bae, president of Samsung Electronics, who contributed to the development and mass production of the world's best mobile and server DRAMs, won the Gold Tower Industrial Medal, the highest honor, and Choi Myung-bae, CEO of YIK Co., Ltd., who contributed to Korea's first memory test equipment localization and semiconductor equipment exports, received the Silver Tower Industrial Medal.
