South Korea's National Archives has restored the design drawings of the country's first 4-megabit DRAM — a milestone in the nation's semiconductor history — and made 15 related records public, according to materials released by the government.
The restored blueprint documents the design of the 4-megabit DRAM, a chip regarded as a symbol of Korea's rise in the global semiconductor industry. The National Archives released the drawing as part of a batch of 15 records made available to the public.
The records were published with photos provided by the National Archives and ETRI, which were distributed through Yonhap News.
The government materials describe the chip as Korea's "first" 4-megabit DRAM. This "first" designation is a government expression, and remains the sole caveat attached to the release; no conflicting evidence has been identified.
The restored design drawing and the accompanying records are available through the government's public document releases, with the original PDF published by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.
The claim that the National Archives restored and released the blueprint of Korea's first 4-megabit DRAM among 15 disclosed records is True.
