Doosan Nears Deal to Acquire SK Siltron

Doosan is poised to secure future growth engines by acquiring SK Siltron, a leader in Silicon Carbide (SiC) wafers, a key material for next-generation semiconductors. SK Siltron possesses proprietary technology to produce SiC wafers, which are essential for manufacturing high-performance semiconductors used in electric vehicles and other applications.

SK Siltron's focus, SiC wafers, are emerging as a key material for the next-generation semiconductor industry due to their superior electrical properties compared to conventional silicon (Si) wafers. They are utilized in power semiconductors, high-performance computing chips, and other applications, with demand surging alongside the growth of the electric vehicle and renewable energy markets.

LG Display has posted first-quarter results exceeding market expectations. The company's rebound is gaining momentum, driven by performance in its OLED panel business and physical AI-related ventures.
