By Lee Joon-seung
SEOUL, July 27 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co., LG Electronics and SK Telecom will work with other local companies to make semiconductors for hightech digital appliances that can replace imports, the government said Monday.

The plan calls for the first ever tie-up between Samsung and LG to make so-called global digital TV receiver chips, while SK aims to create a wireless connectivity system-on-chip (SoC) for smart phones with chip designing company Xronet, the Ministry of Knowledge Economy said.
