[Featured Stock] Oros Technology, Domestic Sole Wafer Measurement Technology Highlights Amid Semiconductor Supply Shortage, Surges

[Asia Economy Reporter Minwoo Lee] Oros Technology's stock price is on the rise. Amid the ongoing semiconductor shortage, the fact that it is the only company to have localized semiconductor overlay metrology equipment has been highlighted.

As of 2:19 PM on the 19th, Oros Technology's stock price recorded 45,900 KRW, up 5.03% compared to the previous trading day. With the semiconductor shortage continuing, foundry companies are expected to expand their production facilities, reflecting expectations that Oros Technology will benefit.

Oros Technology is the only domestic semiconductor parts company producing overlay metrology equipment that measures whether the materials stacked on the wafer during the semiconductor wafer processing are precisely aligned. As a key piece of equipment, it has secured both Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix as clients.

Meanwhile, as the global semiconductor shortage continues, global semiconductor equipment investment is expected to reach an all-time high. Taiwan's TSMC announced plans to spend up to 31 trillion KRW. SK Hynix also plans to invest 10 trillion KRW in facility investment. Samsung Electronics plans to invest 35 trillion KRW in semiconductor facilities this year, about 20% more than the previous year.
