According to Newsis,

Korean researchers joined hands with global leading comapnies in optical materials and semiconductors to develop eco-friendly & high-efficiency future vehicles as well as 6G communication chips.

The Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) hosted the 'Korea-US Technical Cooperation Forum' held at the JW Marriott in Washington DC, USA on Dec. 8 (local time) organized by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology (KIAT).

And Korea signed an MOU with the US material parts company Coherent to develop next-generation semiconductor material and part technology.

Taking this opportunity the three institutions are actively cooperating in developing eco-friendly and low-carbon chips and relevant leading technology for future automobiles and future 6G. 

Also, the fields of business industry-university-research will conduct a joint research projects for the industrialization of global technology and eco-friendly & high-efficiency semiconductor-led technology. The MOU was signed by ETRI President Kim Myung-joon, KAIST Global Commercialization Center (GCC) Choi Moon-ki, and American Coherent CEO Vincent Mattera.

Headquartered in Pennsylvania, US, Coherent is a global semiconductor material and part manufacturer with sales of $3.1 billion in 2021, having more than 2,200 technology patents.

President Kim Myung-Jun at ETRI said, "On the basis of the cooperation of the three, we plan to focus on joint global commercialization and marketing by ratcheting up global research capabilities to meet the demand for future chips in the field of next-generation semiconductors such as electric vehicles and 6G mobile communications."
