SKC (CEO Woncheol Park) will unveil its glass
substrates, widely regarded as a “game changer” in the semiconductor industry,
at CES 2025—the world’s largest consumer electronics and IT exhibition—scheduled
to take place from January 7 to 10 (local time) in Las Vegas, USA.

SKC exhibits actual glass substrates in the AI Data Center (AI DC) zone
of the exhibition hall jointly operated by four SK Group affiliates (SKC, SK
hynix, SK telecom, and SK enmove). Operated under the theme of “Innovative AI, Sustainable Tomorrow,” the SK
exhibition hall is divided into three zones: AI DC, AI Services, and AI
Ecosystems.

During the exhibition, glass substrates will be presented as a solution
to enhance the speed of AI servers handling large-scale data. A visualization
of their application in AI data centers will provide visitors with a tangible
understanding of how the substrates are utilized in practice.

In addition to the exhibition, a presentation will highlight the
advantages of glass substrates. Absolics, an SKC-invested affiliate in the glass
substrate business, will participate in a session titled “Cutting-edge Hardware
and Software for AI Semiconductors,” offering insights into the future
development of AI solutions driven by glass substrate technology.

Glass substrates offer several advantages, including the ability to
implement ultra-fine circuits and house various components, such as MLCCs, enabling
large-capacity CPUs and GPUs to be mounted on their surface. This leads to a
40% increase in data processing speed compared to conventional substrates,
while reducing power consumption and package thickness by over 50%. Applying glass substrates to AI data centers can significantly
reduce their physical footprint and energy consumption.

SKC has completed the world’s first mass-production facility in Georgia,
USA, and is accelerating its commercialization efforts. Last year, SKC secured USD
75 million in production subsidies and USD 100 million in R&D grants from the
U.S. government, recognizing its technological innovation.

An
SKC representative stated, “As the first company in the world to commercialize
semiconductor substrates, CES provides an opportunity to once again showcase our
technological excellence on a global stage.” They added, “We will further
solidify our technological edge through glass substrates amid the increasingly
fierce competition in the semiconductor industry.” [End]
