China develop semiconductor and display industries, 2016 before the end of the scale of investment in equipment will be more than 75 million won ($67.6 billion), south Korean indirect benefit related equipment manufacturers. But the mainland companies in addition to the purchase of South Korea's production equipment, also to South Korea recruit professionals, warning signs of the brain drain.
According to local media Digital Times reported, Beijing Oriental building line 8.5 generation of LCD factory is located in fuzhou, and 10.5 generation line LCD factory, order from South Korea equipment industry DMS scale up to a total of 42.5 billion won display manufacturing equipment; Another industry Shinsung FA also supply about 99.7 billion boe in 2016 won the size of the engineering automation equipment.
Huaxing photoelectric is currently building 8.5 -generation LCD factory in shenzhen, the future is expected to increase to 2 ~ 3 years South Korea order with equipment vendors. Mainland companies in semiconductor equipment to expand investment and panel, delighted to meet South Korea equipment businesses rare market sentiment.
Although South Korea equipment industry a hot order, but on the other hand is worried that the brain drain continent, because at the same time actively recruit mainland Korea talents with equipment procurement experience, intention to master relevant professional knowledge and technology. Especially in the service of South Korea's small and medium-sized enterprises in the industry, familiar with semiconductor process order, to help mainland companies in the short term by leaps and bounds.
According to statistics, in 2015, the employment of the Korean people to China semiconductor industry more than 1000 people, about hundreds of current at the Beijing Oriental human from South Korea's small and medium-sized enterprises, huaxing photoelectric also absorb the dozens of people in employment.
Samsung Electronics, Samsung Electronics, with SK Hynix (SK Hynix), and other large enterprises to prevent leaving employees into the camp, in succession to develop peer non-compete clauses limit, but such management measures the number of constraints, the overall departure only 10%, as for the money not enough strong small and medium-sized enterprises more authority to employees.
Industry, said the mainland companies with abundant capital as a weapon, offering a high salary to attract South Korea equipment industry engineers, were it not for the extraordinary sense of mission and patriotism, ordinary people are hard to resist so lucrative salaries.
Recently, which used to huaxing photoelectric in LGD (LG Display) served as vice President of the south Korean people gold •B plant on behalf of the director to the company. A previously worked in samsung, SK hynix, STX Solar CELLS, hanwha Q senior south Korean semiconductor experts, at the end of 2015 to Taiwan semiconductor industry consultant, has caused quite a stir in the south Korean industry at that time.
Big companies can be increased by salary, provide education and training and other welfare measures to try to stay only, but small and medium-sized enterprises (smes) can do is quite limited, can only look at talent into mainland industry effect.
Although there are preventing industrial technology outflow laws, but the heart still can drill legal loophole to avoid restrictions. The south Korean government and big business cooperation, the establishment of support personnel, research and development of the system of cooperation, hope to be able to solve the problem of brain drain, but it is still impossible to assess results.
Industry trade and resources (MOTIE) relevant personage says, is working with the industry to discuss ways of proposing to prevent brain drain, but this part is relatively sensitive, different companies face, still need some time to have the detail countermeasures.
