The Korea Semiconductor Industry Association requested the enactment of a 'Special Act for the Promotion of the Semiconductor Industry' to provide effective support to the semiconductor industry.

On the 9th, the Semiconductor Association announced a ‘Request from the Industry to the Government for the Development of the Semiconductor Industry.’

According to this, recent policy support for leading semiconductor countries is being implemented on a scale that has never been seen before. The United States has established a strong incentive policy, such as a 40% tax exemption for semiconductor facility investment, China is investing 170 trillion won by 2025, and the European Union is also supporting semiconductor manufacturing technology development projects worth over 67 trillion won.

Accordingly, the semiconductor industry will continue to do its best to strengthen its technological and industrial competitiveness, and has requested the enactment of a 'Special Act for the Promotion of the Semiconductor Industry' to ensure the swift and effective implementation of semiconductor industry support programs.

In addition, to expand domestic semiconductor manufacturing facilities, we requested a tax credit of up to 50% of the cost of investment in research and development and manufacturing facilities, and requested prompt and smooth support for infrastructure facilities such as various permits, power and water supply, and wastewater treatment facilities when constructing or expanding semiconductor manufacturing facilities.

In addition, we requested effective support programs, such as facility investment support and overall environmental improvement, to build silicon and next-generation power semiconductor manufacturing facilities, and requested review of laws regulating the construction and operation of semiconductor manufacturing facilities to ensure that they are implemented within a scope that does not undermine industrial competitiveness.

Next-generation power semiconductor manufacturing base They also requested the establishment of facilities for preparation, research and development, financial support, and talent development.

He also requested the training and supply of talent to lead innovation in the semiconductor industry.

We requested the establishment of new semiconductor-related departments and expansion of student enrollment at universities in the metropolitan area, the prompt implementation of large-scale core technology development-oriented human resource development projects, support for training research personnel at materials, components, and equipment companies, and the establishment of a semiconductor human resource academy to address the shortage of semiconductor personnel.

Here, we requested support for building an ecosystem to stabilize the domestic semiconductor demand supply chain.

They requested full-cycle cooperation support, including joint research and development, testing, and production, between domestic semiconductor demand companies and semiconductor companies, and requested a temporary suspension of amendments to the Patent Act, including the introduction of a Korean-style evidence investigation manufacturing system that could negatively impact the competitiveness of domestic small and medium-sized enterprises.

In addition, he requested the implementation of flexible trade policies in response to changes in the global environment to proactively respond to the international situation surrounding the semiconductor industry.
