SEMIFIVE Signs Turnkey Design Contract Worth KRW 18,000 Million With AI Semiconductor Fabless Company

March 16, 2026 -

SEMIFIVE announced that it has signed a turnkey design contract worth KRW 18,000 million (approximately USD 12.5 million) with an AI semiconductor fabless company. This contract marks a follow-on project with the customer and covers the development of a high-performance AI NPU based on Samsung Foundry's advanced 4nm (SF4X) process technology. The project will further strengthen SEMIFIVE's leadership in the rapidly growing AI semiconductor market and expand the company's portfolio of high-performance AI chip design projects.

SEMIFIVE continues to strengthen its position in the AI semiconductor market with a strong track record in NPU design and mass production. This achievement follows a series of major projects, including XCENA, a CXL-based 4nm (SF4X) project, and HyperAccel, an LPU-based 4nm (SF4X) project optimized for Large Language Model (LLM) inference. These consecutive wins further validate SEMIFIVE's technical maturity and execution capabilities in the high-performance AI semiconductor sector.
