The Secretary of Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Energy (Shin, Kukwhan) is planning to build a professional research center like that of CALCE EPSC at the University of Maryland in order to improve the reliability of Korean microelectronics components and to develop value added products. The research center will be in universities to include master and doctorate development. CALCE is a desirable model for university research center and industry and university collaborated research.

This year, about US $3 Million will be invested and totally US $ 20 Million until 2005. About 2000 reliability experts are expected to be created through this project.

More experts and research will help to release the pressure from high technology development in microelectronics.
