NeonTech has transferred partial rights to three of its patents to SK Hynix, granting the companies joint ownership over these crucial technologies. The transfer was completed in February 2024 and involved patents registered in 2021. Notably, the scope of these patents was amended prior to the rights transfer.

The transferred patents include:

- "Vacuum Pad Capable of Easily Desticking Electronic Chips, Vacuum Chuck Table and Picker Having the Same, and Pick-Up Method of Electronic Chips by the Same" (KR2320338), a technology focused on enhancing the efficiency of electronic component handling.

- "Semiconductor Chip Washing Machine and Semiconductor Chip Making Method Using the Same" (KR2216351), a device and method for the manufacturing process of semiconductor chips.

- "Hybrid Blade Change Module and Blade Auto Supplying Method Using the Same" (KR2246541), a technology enabling efficient blade changes in semiconductor manufacturing.

NeonTech has been expanding its presence in the semiconductor sector through significant agreements. 

In 2020, it entered a ₩2.4 billion (approximately $1.8 million) contract with Daeduck Electronics to supply a hybrid sawing machine, combining a saw & sorter and router for semiconductor PCB processing. In 2021, NeonTech secured a further contract with Daeduck Electronics worth ₩3.8 billion (about $2.9 million) for an inline system and saw & sorter.

The company has also established a foothold in China, partnering with Shenzhen Zakar Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd., in 2021 for the delivery of an automatic dicing saw valued at ₩3.6 billion (around $2.8 million) and two consecutive contracts valued at ₩3.6 billion and ₩3.7 billion ($2.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively) for Micro LED dicing equipment.
