While South Korea and Japan are still embroiled in a trade war,.... Samsung Electronics has reportedly starting using a Korean-made etching gas to make its semiconductors... instead of the Japanese product that Tokyo's now restricting.
A Samsung official said today,... that locally-made materials are now being used as a replacement in certain processes.
South Korea's trade ministry also announced today,.... that testing time for certifications will be cut by up to half for some major parts, materials and equipment to help accelerate technological development.
The ministry has signed agreements with certification agencies like the Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme, and said fast-track testing for semiconductors, displays and other products will start Thursday.
