[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyungsoo] Semiconductor equipment company Hanmi Semiconductor announced on the 8th that it has launched the EMI Shield Vision Attach 2.0 Dragon, an essential semiconductor electromagnetic wave shielding process equipment with dramatically enhanced performance.


The EMI shield process is a sputtering operation that deposits metals such as stainless steel and copper on the surface of semiconductor chips to prevent electromagnetic waves generated by the semiconductor chip itself, installed in electronic devices, from interfering with the operation of other chips. IT companies such as Apple, Qualcomm, and Broadcom adopted this process in 2016. Hanmi Semiconductor also introduced EMI shield equipment for the first time in 2016, achieving sales of approximately 37 billion KRW.


Hanmi Semiconductor Vice Chairman Kwak Dong-shin introduced, "The EMI Shield Vision Attach 2.0 Dragon is equipment that performs the process of precisely attaching semiconductor packages to sputtering jigs with vision inspection."


He added, "Compared to the previous model, we strengthened the package attach function by applying precise bonding force control through an intelligent picker and improving unit press performance. We also added vision autofocus functionality and a high-speed attach mode to enhance user convenience and productivity."


Vice Chairman Kwak emphasized, "Four years after launching Hanmi Semiconductor's EMI shield equipment, we have achieved the world's number one market share. We expect demand for EMI shield to increase in 5G communications, smartphones, electric vehicles, and autonomous vehicles."



Founded in 1980, Hanmi Semiconductor achieved sales of 373.1 billion KRW and an operating profit of 122.4 billion KRW last year. For the second consecutive year following 2020, it recorded its highest-ever performance since its establishment. Following last year, due to increased investment centered on system semiconductors and foundries by global semiconductor companies, it has risen to become the semiconductor equipment company with the largest market capitalization in the domestic stock market as of the previous day's closing price.
