Hanwul Semiconductor wins Japanese MLCC inspection equipment order

Hanwul Semiconductor announced on the 12th that it has won an order from a Japanese MLCC manufacturer to upgrade the AI performance of its appearance inspection equipment, according to bloter.net.

The company said it plans to expand its chip inspection equipment business, which had previously focused on domestic customers, overseas.

Background

In recent months, growth in AI server demand has caused a shortage of high-capacity MLCC products. According to Global Information Research, the global MLCC appearance inspection equipment market is forecast to grow from about 1.26 trillion won last year to about 2.87 trillion won by 2032, an average annual growth of 12.6%.

Hanwul Semiconductor has long supplied inspection and process equipment to major domestic MLCC manufacturers. The company developed its own inspection platform 'HaWAIe', which combines image processing technology and AI deep learning. Its MLCC six-sided appearance inspection equipment recorded an inspection speed of over 13,000 units per minute for 0603规格 and about 98% defect detection accuracy in its own performance tests.
