SK Hynix and KAIST collaborate to use AI technology to improve chip manufacturing process

According to the Korea Times, SK Hynix said on the 12th that it has established a partnership with the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), the world's top science and technology university, to use artificial intelligence technology to improve the chip manufacturing process.

According to the memorandum of understanding, SK Hynix will provide data generated in the semiconductor manufacturing process to KAIST in real time through cloud computing, and KAIST will use AI technology to analyze the data to help promote the development of the chip manufacturing process.

SK Hynix said it launched a cloud computing system at its headquarters in March this year, and to enable KAIST to store the data provided, the company has also set up secure data storage at the academy's Daejeon campus and Seongnam-KAIST Next Generation ICT Research Center.

SK Hynix has been strengthening its partnerships with Korean universities to further enhance its capabilities in the semiconductor industry. Company executives said they expect the collaboration to help accelerate the development of chip manufacturing technology. The company has established a system that can immediately apply AI algorithms developed by universities to the industrial field, and hopes that this collaboration will cultivate more AI professionals and promote the development of the semiconductor industry.
