SEOUL, April 10 (Korea Bizwire) — SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won has visited Taiwan, and met with the chief of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) and officials from other semiconductor companies to discuss ways of strengthening cooperation in the semiconductor sector, sources said Thursday.
During the meeting held earlier this week, Chey and TSMC CEO C.C. Wei agreed to work together to lay the foundation for an artificial intelligence (AI) era and to deepen cooperation on the high-bandwidth memory (HBM) sector, among other areas, according to the industry sources.
In April 2024, South Korea’s leading chipmaker SK hynix Inc. set up a strategic partnership with TSMC aimed at bolstering its capabilities in producing HBM chips and advanced packaging technologies.
Chey also met with officials of other Taiwanese IT firms and discussed ways of working together on the semiconductor industry.
It marked Chey’s first publicly known visit to Taiwan in 10 months since June, and he was accompanied on the trip by SK hynix CEO Kwak Noh-jung, the sources said.
