Kwon-Je Kim, CEO of EYEQ Lab “Supply to the world of domestic power semiconductors”
- By 2020.09.21 “As the demand for power semiconductors increases, inquiries from domestic and foreign companies for supply are continuing. Along with mass production, we plan to export our products to China and Taiwan immediately and expand the supply to domestic and foreign electric vehicle batteries and renewable energy power generation and transmission markets.” Kim Kwon-je, CEO of EYEQ Lab, who recently signed a contract with the Busan Technopark (TP) Power Semiconductor Commercialization Center and a silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductor foundry (consignment production) with a scale of 300 wafers, said, “We are working with five global power semiconductor companies including the US and Europe. By comparison, our semiconductor quality has risen to an equal level. Now, the only thing left to do is to be recognized in the market and grow by increasing sales.” EYEQ Lab is a specialized power semiconductor company that Busan TP Power Semiconductor Commercialization Center signed a foundry contract for the first time. Foundry supply of 300 wafers is worth 2 billion won at market price.

[2021 CEO of Hanbat University Startup] EYEQ LAB, which makes power semiconductors, which are the core of electrical products, a material superior to silicon.
- By Magazine Hankyung, 2021.06.02 EYEQ LAB is a startup company that develops and mass-produces next-generation power semiconductors. A power semiconductor is a semiconductor that performs control processing such as DC/AC conversion and voltage/frequency change in order to utilize electrical energy. It improves energy efficiency and provides system stability and reliability by controlling voltage changes in the power semiconductor power transfer and control process. Power semiconductors are key components that determine the operation and performance of electrically powered products such as home appliances, smartphones, and automobiles. EYEQ LAB produces silicon carbide (SiC)-based power semiconductors with better properties than silicon. It develops and produces core parts for most electronic devices that require power conversion and motor driving. Kwon-je Kim, CEO of EYEQ LAB, established the company in 2018 based on years of experience and skillful technology related to semiconductor technology. CEO Kim said, “Power semiconductors are emerging as a key icon in the era of the 4th industrial revolution. The next-generation power semiconductors are used as key components of digital new deals, electric vehicles, and the Green New Deal such as artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G. Most SiC power semiconductors are being developed and sold overseas. As most of the domestic products are imported, the country is highly dependent on foreign countries. CEO Kim said, “According to the supply strategies of overseas companies, the production volume of the demanding company is adjusted, which can lead to a decrease in the competitiveness of the consumer.” He explained that that is why he started this business and said he thought it was absolutely necessary to secure an infrastructure that could be applied to demanding companies through the localization of SiC power semiconductors. The competitive edge of EYEQ LAB is that it is developing new technology products that are second to foreign companies. EYEQ LAB reduced unit cost by increasing current density by applying new technology process. By doing so, it has secured competitive edge in production cost. Development of new technologies was possible because many former Samsung Electronics developers were working as employees of EYEQ LAB. On top of that, CEO Kim's sales capabilities also played a major role. CEO Kim, who has been continuously working in semiconductor field, has pioneered markets through continuous discussions with current customers. "We have established plans for technology development and marketing activities by identifying trends of competitors." said CEO Kim. In addition, it also secured potential customers by directly submitting or participating in domestic and foreign academic conferences and exhibitions. It also held an exhibition organized by ETRI (Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute). CEO Kim said, "We will expand to various products to meet the needs of our customers. Based on Chinese sites, we will enter overseas markets and emerging markets to pioneer new markets."
