This significant investment will be utilized to increase both domestic and overseas production capacity within the company's electromaterials business unit. The approval of this investment was made by the company's board of directors on Thursday.\n\nCCLs are a crucial material for advanced semiconductor substrates and printed circuit boards (PCBs), which are integral components in virtually all electronic devices. The demand for CCLs has remained robust in recent months, as the market for the material continues to witness strong growth due to the persistent demand-supply imbalance in the broader semiconductor value chain.\n\nThis investment represents the largest in Doosan Corp.'s history and constitutes roughly 8 percent of its total equity capital.

These devices play a vital role in data communication networks, further highlighting the strategic importance of this expansion plan for Doosan Corp.",
