The company opened its first day as a semiconductor foundry based in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, where SK Hynix facilities are located. Foundry refers to the business of fabricating the semiconductor designs for fabless companies.
SK Hynix expects that splitting the foundry business into a separate entity would strengthen its capacity in system-on-chips designed to perform specialized tasks on top of general-purpose computations.
Growing computing and digitalization requires hardware to carry out multiple high-performance tasks including graphic processing, self-driving, and self-learning. Upon demand, a SoC can act as the microchip for smartphones, sensors, TV displays, and communication chips.
Because of its broad application, the chips are customized for their functional purpose.
