The trend of importing electronic components such as chips into automobiles is becoming more and more obvious. With the continuous development of technologies such as electric vehicles and self-driving vehicles, such a situation will only become more significant in the future. Previously, there were existing automotive built-in chips such as microcontrollers and commercial MEMS. System (MEMS) sensors and special application integrated circuits (ASICs) used in in-vehicle infotainment systems are off-the-shelf products, but now with the global first-tier automotive component manufacturers began to lay out their own wafer fabrication capacity, plus professional Wafer manufacturers are also beginning to flood into this market. In the future, the traditional boundary between auto parts manufacturers and wafer manufacturers in the field of automotive electronic components may be more blurred, and the era of competition among groups has quietly begun. Being able to win will be based on the ability.
According to the Semiconductor Engineering website, general-purpose wafer manufacturers have a large market share in the market for mobile device chips, which is an area that first-tier auto parts suppliers are unlikely to cut into. These first-line auto parts suppliers are It is planned to grab the potential demand market for imported chips. For example, Bosch is investing 1 billion euros (about 1.17 billion US dollars) to build a new 12-inch wafer fab in Dresden, Germany, expected in 2019. It will be completed and put into production in 2021. Bosch currently has 8 and 6 wafer fabs for MEMS and ASICs.
Leading automotive component suppliers such as Bosch have been a market leader in this field for many years, but as professional wafer manufacturers begin to invest in the market, automotive IC manufacturing will now become more competitive. While first-line automotive component suppliers and professional wafer manufacturers have their own strengths in automotive ICs, professional wafer manufacturers are good at cost control and depressing, which has led to the rise and help of fabless IC design. Promoting industrial consolidation, and wafer manufacturers are now looking for new customers and markets to deliver their chips to manufacturing, and automotive ICs are the hottest growth market today.
The competitive advantage of first-line auto component suppliers is that they have a long history of reliability of the components they produce, and given the absolute importance of safety in cars or driving, the products produced are highly reliable. Its importance and competitive advantage. Although the professional wafer fabrication industry can create economies of scale, there is not much experience in producing components that can last for 10 to 15 years without problems. This will be a professional wafer manufacturer entering the field of automotive electronic components. It must be certified by the industry, which will require investment time and more cost for product testing.
