Hanmi Semiconductor Surpasses 2,020 Units in Cumulative Sales of Vision Placement Systems

Essential Equipment for Semiconductor Production Vision Placement
80% Market Share, World's No.1 in Sales
Cumulative Sales Amount 1.9 Trillion Won

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Semiconductor equipment company Hanmi Semiconductor announced on the 18th that the cumulative sales of its 'Vision Placement' have surpassed 2,020 units.

Vision Placement is an essential semiconductor production equipment that performs cleaning, drying, inspection, sorting, and stacking processes on semiconductor packages cut from wafers. Since its launch in 1998, the 2,020th unit was shipped in 2020, achieving an 80% share of the global market. The cumulative sales amount reaches 1.9 trillion KRW.

Kim Minhyun, CEO of Hanmi Semiconductor, introduced, "The 6th generation model, 'Vision Placement-6.0 SUPREME,' is a culmination of advanced technology applying a total of 227 patents," adding, "Compared to the 1st generation model, productivity has increased about 20 times, and based on smart machine functions, precision and convenience have been greatly improved."

He emphasized, "It takes an average of over 400 hours to manufacture one unit, and it is meticulously assembled by 160 skilled artisans by hand."

Vision Placement is an essential semiconductor equipment that must be used regardless of semiconductor type, whether memory or non-memory. It has built trust over a long time with global semiconductor customers.

According to the 'Annual Semiconductor Market Size Forecast' recently released by semiconductor market research firm Gartner, next year's semiconductor market is expected to grow by about 11.5% compared to this year's estimated size due to increased demand for semiconductor chips in various fields such as artificial intelligence, smart cars, data centers, and 5G. It is expected to reach $456 billion (approximately 544 trillion KRW). The demand for Vision Placement, necessary for producing semiconductor chips, is also likely to increase.
