Hanmi Semiconductor (042700) announced Monday that revenue from its Micro Saw Vision Placement (MSVP) semiconductor equipment increased 1.8 times year-over-year in 2024. The company plans to strengthen its MSVP business, anticipating rapid sales growth this year driven by artificial intelligence demand.
MSVP is essential production equipment that handles semiconductor packages from cutting through washing, drying, inspection, sorting, and stacking. The equipment is widely used in processes for DRAM, NAND flash, high bandwidth memory (HBM), and system semiconductors. Hanmi Semiconductor launched its first-generation MSVP in 1998 and has maintained the top global market share for 23 consecutive years since 2004.
The latest model, the 7th-generation MSVP 6.0 Griffin, features Full Self Device Setup (FSD) technology that reduces equipment setup time from eight hours to 35 minutes, significantly boosting productivity, the company said. The system incorporates more than 200 patented technologies, including unmanned automation features such as Blade Change Master and Auto Kit Change.
"As semiconductor companies increase capital investment amid AI chip market growth, MSVP orders have surged significantly since late last year," a Hanmi Semiconductor official said. "With continued sales growth expected this year, we anticipate substantial contribution to our earnings performance."
