V-One Tech Secures Order for Automated SiC Ring Exterior Inspection Equipment, a Key Semiconductor Component

V-One Tech is ramping up its efforts to enter the semiconductor materials market by partnering with semiconductor materials company TCK (TCK).

On May 12, V-One Tech announced that it has been awarded a project by TCK to develop inspection equipment for the exterior of SiC (Silicon Carbide) rings.

V-One Tech has jointly developed this technology in collaboration with TCK, a global leader in SiC ring components, based on its proprietary inspection and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The company plans to expand the application of this technology when new factories are established in the future.

SiC rings are key materials used in equipment for processing semiconductor wafers, and product quality is determined by the presence or absence of surface defects. The core focus of this project is to automate the inspection process, which was previously performed visually by workers, with automated equipment. This is expected to improve both inspection accuracy and process efficiency simultaneously.

This contract is significant in that it represents an example of V-One Tech expanding its accumulated technologies from existing industries into new fields. The company has previously developed expertise in inspection and automation technologies in the display and secondary battery sectors, and has now applied these capabilities to semiconductor materials processing as well.

V-One Tech operates its business by collecting data on site, making decisions based on this data, and then carrying out processes through its equipment. Although the industrial sectors may differ, this technological approach is being utilized in various areas. The company expects that this project will lead to additional contracts in the semiconductor materials sector.

V-One Tech CEO Kim Sunjung stated, "This contract is meaningful in that it demonstrates how technologies that are not limited to a specific industry, but can be commonly applied across various sectors, are being expanded in the field. We will continue to pursue business directions that enhance productivity at different industrial sites."
