Company profile

researched Aug 2026

λž¨ν…Œν¬λ†€λŸ¬μ§€γˆœ (RAM Technology) is a South Korean specialty chemical materials company that manufactures etching solutions, stripping solutions and cleaning solutions used in IT manufacturing processes, including semiconductors, TGV (glass substrates), HBM/TSV, displays and secondary batteries. The company positions itself around localization of IT chemical materials for semiconductor and display production in Korea.

The company describes an integrated "one-stop" production process, in-house production of source materials related to BOE, material refining and recycling under a "Green Biz" framework, and a shift toward automation and smart-factory operations. It reports holding 21 domestic and international patents and has been selected for Korean SME ministry programs including the "Strong Small Enterprise 100" (κ°•μ†ŒκΈ°μ—… 100) and "Innovative Company National Representative 1000" (ν˜μ‹ κΈ°μ—… κ΅­κ°€λŒ€ν‘œ 1000) designations. Recent patent filings cover ultra-high-purity phosphoric acid "Quantum" refining technology for semiconductor processes and glass-hole etching technology for TGV interposer manufacturing.

Corporate governance and ESG content published by the company includes a conflict minerals policy statement committing to responsible sourcing of 3TG minerals (tin, tantalum, tungsten, gold) and adherence to the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, together with supplier compliance requirements and ongoing supply-chain monitoring.

Business model

The company manufactures and supplies process chemicals β€” etchants, strippers, cleaning solutions and deposition solutions β€” to manufacturers in the semiconductor, display and secondary battery industries, and also refines and recycles materials.
