[Pangyo Hot Issue] System Semiconductor Design Support Center in Pangyo stimulates the ecosystem of semiconductor chip development

Now, you are one step closer to making your own semiconductor chip.Anyone who wants to design a semiconductor chip can really do it at this centerthat opens 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

It is happening at the System Semiconductor Design Support Center,which recently opened at Gyeonggi Business Growth Center in Pangyo on June 29. Atthe opening ceremony, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) announcedthe new system semiconductor industry development strategy with the invitedcompanies.

The government had announced the vision and strategy for systemsemiconductor April 2019, and as the following step, System SemiconductorDesign Support Center was opened to provide one-stop support for thedevelopment and commercialization of fabless companies.

The government plan to fund the cost to make the chips made byfabless at the foundry. In addition to this, it will also supportcommercialization and mass usage of the chips to expand the semiconductor IPsand made-in-Korea IPs.

MOTIE is currently selecting companies in nine industries includingAI, touch-circuit, and autonomous vehicle sensors for fostering. It is planningto select 11 additional companies by 2021.

System Semiconductor Design Support Center is expected tostrengthen the system semiconductor ecosystem by providing an analysis andmeasurement infrastructure that evaluating the cost of implementing thedesigned chip as a prototype and whether the prototype is operating normally.

The government will also fully operate a system semiconductor fundamounting to 100 billion won that was created at the end of last year.

Minister Seong of MOTIE said, "We will strengthen the linkagebetween companies so that Korea can leap into a system semiconductorpowerhouse, and support industrial competitiveness by fostering professionalmanpower and supporting R&D."
