[DigitalToday reporter Daegeon Seok] Justem will unveil its new product, JDS, which simultaneously controls humidity and temperature in EFEM and FOUP environments, at Semicon Korea. Justem said on Tuesday it will take part in Semicon Korea 2026, to be held at Seoul’s COEX for three days starting Feb. 11, and showcase its humidity-control solution JDS (Justem Dry System).

JDS combines features of Justem’s second-generation humidity-control solution JFS (Jet Flow Straightener) and its third-generation solution JDM (Jet Dry Module). It keeps humidity inside FOUP at 1 percent or lower and inside EFEM at 5 to 10 percent or lower. It also controls temperatures to block contamination in advance and raise yield, it said. JDS is currently at the completed development stage and is targeting a launch in the second half of this year.

Justem will also place particular emphasis on its second-generation solution JFS at the exhibition. JFS is an airflow-control solution developed after more than 3 years of research and development, and it supplied 1,700 systems to global semiconductor companies including Samsung Electronics. It will also unveil its next-generation humidity-control solution JPB (Jet Purge Buffer). JPB is a post-process wafer fume removal device that delivers an active purge effect while keeping humidity at 5 percent or lower.

Justem CEO Yongjin Kim (김용진) said, "JDS and JFS are becoming an essential choice for improving yield," adding, "In a semiconductor market that has entered a supercycle, Justem’s humidity-control solutions will become a global standard."
