DS Joins KB Starters Singapore, Launches Global Push

A company specializing in advanced semiconductor package defect detection solutions, DS, has been selected for 'KB Starters Singapore,' laying the groundwork for its global market expansion. Based on its specialized technology for high-performance advanced semiconductor packages, DS is actively seeking significant growth in overseas markets. DS's core solution, 'DeepSeers,' precisely detects defects by analyzing images acquired in real-time through 2D and 3D optical systems using deep learning technology. Notably, this solution is drawing attention not only for its essential 2D image inspection in advanced packaging processes but also for implementing 3D technology that measures even subtle deformations at high speed, allowing for rapid application to mass production equipment. Currently supplying DeepSeers to over 15 major semiconductor backend companies both domestically and internationally, DS has gained recognition for its effectiveness by directly contributing to the yield improvement of OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) companies through its unique technology that accurately classifies true and false defects based on deep learning after initial defect detection. The depth of its technological prowess has also been proven through research achievements. A paper co-authored by CEO Han Ki-joon and Dr. Park Young-jin of DS's Technology Research Institute, titled "Automatic Extraction Method of Detailed Regions of Interest for Real-time Semiconductor Package Defect Detection," received the Excellent Paper Award from the professional journal "Journal of the Korea Microelectronics and Packaging Society," thereby gaining external recognition for DS's unique technological expertise and research capabilities. This selection for 'KB Starters Singapore' will be a significant opportunity for DS to expand beyond Southeast Asia into the broader Asian and global markets. DS plans to progressively secure global business opportunities through cooperation with local investors and companies in Singapore. CEO Han Ki-joon stated, "We have high expectations for expanding cooperation with local partners," adding, "We will expand our market and achieve sustainable growth based on our differentiated technology and solution precision, in line with the trend of advanced semiconductors." Established in May 2021, DS has rapidly grown with solutions specialized in HBM semiconductor package defect detection technology, and its technological prowess is widely recognized. In July 2024, it was selected as the sole Korean innovative company at the International Talent Innovation Competition held in Nanning, China, and in April 2025, it achieved the remarkable feat of being selected as a promising startup in the system semiconductor sector of the 'Super Gap Startup 1000+ Project.' Currently, DS continues its innovation as a batch company of the D.CAMP (Banks Foundation for Young Entrepreneurs), drawing attention as a promising company poised to lead the future of the advanced semiconductor industry.
