Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the designation of new national core technologies in South Korea, including MLCC design, zinc smelting technology, and SAR payload manufacturing, which are deemed crucial for national security and economic significance [1][2]. Group 1: National Core Technologies - The newly designated technologies include: - MLCC design, process, and manufacturing technology with ultra-high capacitance density of over 21uF/mm³ [1]. - Low-temperature and low-pressure hematite process technology used in zinc smelting [1]. - SAR payload manufacturing and signal processing technology with a resolution of less than 1mm [1]. - The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy will conduct an administrative announcement from July 7 to July 27 regarding the revised announcement of national core technology designation [1]. Group 2: Changes in Existing Technologies - Modifications in the semiconductor sector include changing "LTE/LTE_adv/5G baseband modem design technology" to "LTE/LTE_adv/5G/5G_adv baseband modem design technology" [2]. - In the automotive and rail transport sectors, the designation for "core components and system design and manufacturing technology for autonomous vehicles" has been updated to include specific systems like cameras and radar [2]. - The information and communication sector will see four changes, including the update of "PA design technology for base station miniaturization and low power consumption" to "power amplifier design technology for wireless devices" [2].
