Infineon Applied sciences AG and United Microelectronics Company have introduced a long-term cooperation settlement to multiply capability for the manufacturing of Infineon automotive microcontroller in an effort to serve the increasing automotive market. The high-performance microcontroller product leverages Infineon’s proprietary eNVM (embedded non-volatile reminiscences) expertise and will probably be manufactured at UMC’s Singapore fab on its 40nm course of.
Microcontroller are key elements controlling a variety of capabilities in automobiles, and demand is growing as vehicles evolve to turn out to be ever greener, safer, and smarter. Already this 12 months, Infineon is ramping the promoting charge of automotive microcontroller to shut to at least one million per day.
“With this strategic cooperation settlement, we safe extra long-term capability to serve Infineon’s clients within the fast-growing automotive market. On the middle of this partnership is a extremely dependable embedded reminiscence resolution effectively suited to enabling next-generation automotive purposes whereas assembly the stringent security and safety necessities for car programs. We’re happy to have UMC as a strategic accomplice to ship a dependable provide of high-quality microcontrollers to our clients,” says Rutger Wijburg, chief working officer of Infineon. “Going ahead, Infineon and UMC will additional deepen the automotive collaboration within the areas of microcontroller, energy administration and connectivity options.”
“We’re excited that Infineon has chosen UMC to supply its automotive microcontroller product at our Fab 12i in Singapore, a powerful endorsement of our manufacturing functionality and enterprise dedication. This multi-year provide settlement additional strengthens our long-standing partnership with Infineon throughout numerous automotive, AIoT, and 5G market segments,” says Jason Wang, co-president of UMC. “UMC’s shipments of automotive merchandise have tripled since 2019, and we anticipate this sturdy momentum to proceed as demand for automotive semiconductors rises. Given our specialty expertise management, diversified manufacturing footprint, and deal with high quality and operational excellence, we sit up for deepening our collaborations with world-class automotive leaders comparable to Infineon.”
