To this end, the Future Technology Research Institute hosts various academic societies and forums. In March, it co-hosted the Nano Technology Research Council and the international academic conference IEEE EDTM held domestically. To promote the latest research fields and achievements, it also launched the official website of the in-house organization 'Revolutionary Technology Center.'


Vice President Cha's ultimate goal is to create SK Hynix's future vision. He said, "Since it requires a long time, I will draw a mid- to long-term roadmap for the company and juniors and continuously innovate it." He also stated, "We will continue to establish the foundation for SK Hynix to break through technological limits," expressing his goal to strengthen technological leadership.



Vice President Cha is a key figure who led D-RAM development at SK Hynix. He not only introduced the 10-nanometer-class D-RAM tech platform (a technological framework applicable across multiple generations) but also achieved the development of high-bandwidth memory products such as HBM2E and the launch of 16-gigabit (Gb) Double Data Rate (DDR)5 D-RAM. At the Science and Information Communication Day ceremony held last month, he received the Innovation Medal of Science and Technology.
