With the increasing demand for custom chips from companies requiring semiconductors and the rising cost of microfabrication, the role of design houses with design and process know-how is growing to minimize the risk of development failure.

Semiconductor design and manufacturing are different.

Fabless designs chips, but these drawings do not include the manufacturing process. In order to manufacture the chip, it needs to be redesigned for the manufacturing process, and the design house is in charge of this process.

▶ Competitive advantage with advanced high-end process technology

Since 2015, GAONCHIPS has been winning high-end process projects for 12-inch wafers of 28 nanometers or less.

Today, GAONCHIPS provide high-end process optimization solutions for high-growth industries such as automotive, AI, and IoT.

GAONCHIPS is expected to be differentiated from other companies in the Samsung Electronics ecosystem as its revenue-driving applications are automotive semiconductors and AI products.

According to Park Sang-wook, an analyst at Hi Investment & Securities, GAONCHIPS is expected to grow as Samsung Electronics' foundry utilization rate improves and new customers are likely to be secured.
