Hanmi Semiconductor's new factory has been in operation for just over a month before further expansion. According to related reports, Hanmi Semiconductor's share price has risen by nearly 1,200% since the end of 2022.
Hanmi Semiconductor specializes in the production of wafer cleaning, drying, and sorting equipment, which are critical to the semiconductor manufacturing process. However, the company's most notable recent achievement has been the development of manufacturing equipment for high-bandwidth memory (HBM), the next generation of memory chips for high-performance artificial intelligence. With the rapid development of AI technology, there is a growing demand for storage solutions that can process massive amounts of data and provide fast computing power, making HBM a hot topic in the market.
Hanmi Semiconductor's HBM manufacturing equipment has successfully attracted the attention of industry giants. The company recently received a large order worth up to 22.6 billion won from Micron Technology, and this cooperation has not only brought substantial revenue growth to Hanmi Semiconductor, but also significantly increased its visibility in the international market. In addition, SK hynix, as an important customer of Hanmi Semiconductor, has sold out all of its HBM production capacity this year and almost sold out of orders for next year, which further proves the market competitiveness of Hanmi Semiconductor's products.

Driven by orders from key industries, Hanmi Semiconductor began to implement its expansion plans. The company's chief executive officer, Kwak Dong Shin, holds nearly 36% of the company's shares and has increased his holdings over the past year, which not only demonstrates his confidence in the company's future growth, but also reflects management's strong commitment to the company's strategic direction. Hanmi Semiconductor is expected to be included in the Kospi 200 index, South Korea's blue-chip index, in the June review, which will further enhance the company's market position and brand influence.
Looking ahead, Hanmi Semiconductor will continue to increase R&D investment and drive technological innovation to meet the demand for advanced semiconductor equipment in the field of AI and high-performance computing. As the company's position in the global semiconductor industry continues to improve, Hanmi Semiconductor is expected to play a more important role in the future semiconductor market and become a key force in promoting the development of the industry.
The rise of Hanmi Semiconductor is a microcosm of the development of the semiconductor industry driven by AI technology. As the company continues to make progress in technological innovation and market expansion, Hanmi Semiconductor will occupy a more prominent position in the global semiconductor industry and make greater contributions to the development of the entire industry. In the wave of AI, Hanmi Semiconductor is setting sail and starting its brilliant expansion.
