About Samsung’s semiconductor business

The component businesses of Samsung Electronics come together under the title Device Solutions. As a leading company in the global electronics industry, Samsung Electronics has one of the widest range of products for its key component businesses Memory and System LSI, which are core elements of the company's well-balanced business portfolio.

Samsung initiated its semiconductor operations in 1974, mostly developing and producing ICs and peripherals for consumer electronics. The pivotal turning point in our evolution into a leading semiconductor manufacturer was the successful development of the 64Kb DRAM in 1983.

Samsung achieved and has maintained its market leadership position in the memory industry since 1993. Along with its success in the memory sector, the company signaled a long commitment to logic and analog chip development in 2001 with the expansion of its System LSI organization and the opening of its SoC Research Lab. Since then, Samsung's System LSI Business has scaled significantly upward, and is now one of the major players in the sector and also the largest provider in many product categories.
