SEOUL – South Korea will set up an aid package worth more than $7 billion to support its chip industry, the finance ministry said Sunday, as part of its drive to boost its critical semiconductor sector.

It comes as Asia's fourth-largest economy aims to invest heavily in six key technologies, including chips, displays and batteries, all areas where the country's tech giants are well-established already.South Korea is home to two of the world's largest memory chip makers: Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.Semiconductors are Seoul's leading exports, and they hit $11.
