As global supply chain disruptions continue to reshape industrial competitiveness, the focus has expanded beyond finished products to encompass the critical materials and components that underpin industries ranging from traditional manufacturing to advanced sectors such as semiconductors and batteries.

The IT Materials & Components Research Division develops advanced materials and component technologies that address emerging industrial demands and support a wide range of sectors, including semiconductors, mobility, batteries, electronic components, telecommunications, quantum technologies, aerospace, and defense. Our research spans next-generation batteries and key materials and components, 6G and low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellite communication components, advanced packaging technologies for next-generation semiconductors, quantum materials, parts and equipment technologies, defense applications, and convergent electronic materials and nanotechnology.

In addition, we provide comprehensive support to industry through our specialized infrastructure for semiconductor and battery materials and components, as well as our product reliability evaluation facilities. As a nationally accredited testing laboratory under the Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (KOLAS), we help companies improve the reliability and quality of their electronic products through systematic testing, evaluation, and identification of technical weaknesses, enabling continuous product enhancement and commercialization.

Moving forward, we will continue to go beyond technological development by creating new value through customized materials and component technologies tailored to the evolving needs of future advanced industries.
