Seoul, Korea, February 24, 2026 -- QuantumDiamonds GmbH, the global leader in chip testing based on quantum sensing, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with South Korea’s Woowon Technologies Co., Ltd.

The MoU was signed during SEMICON Korea and marks an important step toward strengthening the presence in one of the world’s most advanced semiconductor markets. This establishes a framework for strategic cooperation between the two companies, including market development activities, technical support, and joint customer engagement in South Korea.

QD develops advanced testing systems based on diamond-based quantum sensing technology. The sensing platform enables non-destructive 3D imaging of electrical current flow inside complex semiconductor devices, providing direct insight into failure mechanisms that conventional optical and thermal inspection methods cannot fully access.

“South Korea is home to global leaders in HBM and advanced memory technologies, including Samsung and SK Hynix,” said Dr. Fleming Bruckmaier, Chief Technology Officer of QuantumDiamonds. “We have already been in contact with several Korean companies and see strong interest in our technology. We are very interested in the Korean market and in participating in SEMICON Korea 2026.”

Dr. Bruckmaier further emphasized the broader regional importance of Northeast Asia, highlighting Korea, Taiwan, and Japan as strategically critical semiconductor hubs. “These markets are central to global semiconductor innovation. We look forward to expanding our collaboration and building long-term partnerships across the region.”

Woowon Technologies brings extensive experience in representing advanced semiconductor equipment providers and supporting leading Korean customers with local expertise and technical service capabilities. By combining QD’s quantum sensing test solution with Woowon’s regional network, the partnership aims to accelerate customer evaluations, shorten qualification cycles, and strengthen the adoption of next-generation inspection technologies in Korea.

By combining QD’s differentiated technology with Woowon’s market reach and support capabilities, the partnership aims to accelerate customer evaluation cycles, shorten time to value, and strengthen the adoption of quantum sensing-enabled testing across critical semiconductor segments.
