About GigaVis

GigaVis Co., Ltd., established in 2004 by six former members of Samsung Electro-Mechanical Engineers, operates in the high-end integrated circuit (IC) substrate and printed circuit board (PCB) inspection and repair market. The company is headquartered in Pyeongtaek, South Korea, with international branches in Japan, Taiwan, and China. The founding team, which included individuals like Kim Jong-Joon and Oh Jae-hwan, leveraged their extensive experience to address a need for reliable after-service and upgrades for high-value inspection equipment. Their journey began in a leased container factory, pooling their severance pay to start the venture.

The core business of GigaVis revolves around providing advanced machinery for the semiconductor manufacturing process, specifically focusing on improving product yield and productivity for its clients. The company generates revenue through the sale of its specialized equipment to prominent IC substrate and PCB manufacturers. Its client base consists of major players in the semiconductor industry who require precise defect detection and repair to ensure the quality of their products.

GigaVis's product portfolio includes Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems, which inspect the inner layers of substrates, and Automated Optical Repair (AOR) equipment that rectifies identified defects. The AOI systems are a complex combination of optical technology, image processing, and motion control to verify that PCB circuits match their design specifications. The company has successfully installed over 2,200 sets of its AOI and Vision Inspection Systems (VRS). A notable achievement is the development of an AOI system capable of inspecting minute 2-micrometer pattern widths. Other products include the SSR Repair Machine and Laser Cutting Machines, with a history of accolades such as the Jang Young-sil Award for both its AOI and AOR equipment. The company also offers Factory Automation (FA) systems, creating a total smart factory solution by integrating AOI, AOR, and VRS into a single system.
