IT Home September 17th news, according to Taiwan's Economic Daily, Chairman Huang Chongren of Liji Electric revealed yesterday that he had discussed the topic of business opportunities for automotive semiconductors with TSMC President Wei Zhejia. The consensus between the two is that only a small number of automotive semiconductors use advanced processes, and most of them are about 80% of them are mature processes. Therefore, "everyone has a chance" and brings more business opportunities than mobile phones.
According to reports, Wei Zhejia once analyzed that about 80% of the chips in automotive semiconductors use mature process above 28 nanometers, and only 20% use advanced processes below 14 nanometers.
IT Home learned that when talking about the role of semiconductor in the automotive industry, Huang Chongren analyzed that in the past, in traditional car manufacturers such as BMW , Volkswagen, and Toyota , the chip cost of a car is about 500 to 600 US dollars , which can be said to be insignificant in the automotive supply chain; even the Japanese automotive MCU manufacturer Renesas once said that the chip price is often suppressed by large car manufacturers such as Toyota.
Huang Chongren believes that starting from Tesla , since electric vehicles adopt modular design, the time required for testing chip reliability is not that long, which brings revolutionary changes and has also made major changes in the role of semiconductors in automotive electronics. In the future, there will be more and more applications of automobiles in AI and automation.
