Cosem (CEO Lee Jun-hee), a company specializing in convergence industrial equipment based on scanning electron microscopes (SEMs), announced on the 7th that it had signed a research and development contract with AP Systems (265520), a semiconductor and display equipment manufacturer, for the development of an ion beam module for semiconductor equipment.
Under this agreement, Cosem will develop ion beam modules utilizing its proprietary ion etching technology and exclusively supply these modules to AP Systems. The company believes this collaboration signals Cosem's entry into the semiconductor equipment market, and expects the technological convergence between the two companies to lead to enhanced competitiveness in the future.
The domestic semiconductor and display industries have recently seen a growing emphasis on technological independence due to intensifying global technological competition. Cosem believes this agreement will contribute to the localization and technological independence of related industries.
Lee Jun-hee, CEO of Cosem, stated, "This technological collaboration will allow us to advance our ion etching technology based on charged particle optics and strengthen our position as a specialist in electron microscope convergence equipment." He added, "Based on our recently patented atmospheric pressure electron microscope technology based on new materials and technologies, we also plan to pursue collaborations with various industries."
