[Micron and SanDisk go to South Korea to compete for core semiconductor talents; Samsung increases salary and equity incentives to deal with poaching] "Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily" reported on the 14th that the main battlefield of semiconductor competition has turned to the battle for talent. In order to maintain its leading position in the market, Samsung Electronics has to protect its core talents; at the same time, global competitors such as Micron and SanDisk have also poured into South Korea to compete for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and NAND flash memory design talents. The ability to grab enough core talents who can influence the technological gap has become the key to success in the next-generation memory market. Samsung Electronics is responding by increasing performance bonuses and expanding equity awards. In the first half of this year, the number of employees decreased slightly compared with last year, but total salary, book salary costs and other indicators all increased. (Asia Today )
