This semiconductor, 64K DRAM, was released in the market as Korea’s first and the world’s third product of its kind. It is a VLSI semiconductor that can memorize about 8,000 characters in a nail-sized chip by linking about 150,000 devices -- including about 64,000 transistors -- with each other with about 8 million lines. The development of 64K DRAM made a major contribution to the growth of its manufacturer and the Korean semiconductor industry in general into a global top player and accelerated the transformation of Korean society from industrial to information society.
