QRT received a Ministerial Commendation from South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT at the International Research Industry Convention 2026, held at the Suwon Convention Center on Oct. 28.

QRT was recognized for developing specialized semiconductor reliability testing equipment. The equipment has reduced South Korea's dependence on foreign suppliers by 70%.

The company has commercialized single-event effect (SEE) testing equipment for radiation-induced soft errors in semiconductors used in space, aviation, defense, autonomous driving and artificial intelligence (AI) applications, as well as a radio-frequency high-temperature operating life (RF-HTOL) testing system for communications applications. Its SEE equipment for neutron and heavy-ion testing has established a foundation for reliability verification. The RF-HTOL system has also enabled the company to evaluate the operating life of high-power and high-frequency semiconductors.

The development achievements are translating into exports. QRT said it delivered RF-HTOL equipment to a European defense customer in the first half of this year and has continued to secure equipment orders from global customers in the second half.

"We will strengthen our competitiveness in reliability testing technologies and equipment required by advanced industries," said QRT CEO Lee Kyu-bok. "We will contribute to enhancing the global competitiveness of South Korea's research industry."
