Stolen Samsung IP built CXMT's DRAM, jailed ex-engineer tells court
A founding member of CXMT told a Seoul court his employer never planned its own R&D: from day one, the CEO and CTO meant to build DRAM on Samsung's stolen 600-step process recipe, the node Samsung spent five years and 1.6 trillion won developing. The ex-Samsung engineer, 28 years in, got seven years in April. Now China's No. 4 DRAM maker, CXMT faces a bigger blow: Samsung could push for a US import ban, replaying its OLED win over BOE.
