DB HiTek Co., Ltd., formerly Dongbu HiTek, is a semiconductor contract manufacturing and design company headquartered in Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. DB HiTek is one of the major contract chip manufacturers, alongside TSMC, Samsung Electronics, GlobalFoundries, and UMC.[1] It is also the second-largest foundry company in South Korea, behind Samsung Electronics.[2]
Dongbu Electronics was founded as a memory chipmaker in 1997, but later was transformed into a foundry company in 2001.[3] Dongbu Electronics acquired Anam Semiconductor's foundry operation from Amkor Technology for 114 billion South Korean Won (US$ 93 million) in 2002.[4]
Dongbu HiTek was established in 2007 as a result of the merger between Dongbu Electronics and Dongbu Hannong Chemical, both of which are subsidiaries of Dongbu Group.[5] Dongbu HiTek changed its company name to DB HiTek when Dongbu Group was renamed DB Group in 2017.[6]
