[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] Samsung Electronics announced that Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong visited the Hwaseong plant in Gyeonggi Province on the 20th to personally inspect the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) dedicated semiconductor production line, which began full-scale operation this month, and encouraged employees.

The 'V1 Line' visited by Vice Chairman Lee is Samsung Electronics' first EUV dedicated line, which recently started full-scale production of semiconductors below 7 nanometers, and will primarily produce next-generation foundry products going forward.

Vice Chairman Lee said, "Last year, we planted the vision of becoming the world's number one in system semiconductors here, and today we have fastened the first button of a long journey," adding, "Let us not stop challenging so that the small semiconductors made here can embody the dream of contributing to human society."

Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics announced the 'Semiconductor Vision 2030' last year, revealing plans to invest 133 trillion won in system semiconductors, hire 15,000 employees, and support ecosystem development measures.
