Creating an Unable to Surpass the Threshold: Focusing on the Third Type of Semiconductors to Attack the Core Advantages of Electric Vehicles Undoubtedly, Electric Vehicle (Electric Vehicle) is the industry with the most growth momentum in this century and has the potential to disrupt the existing ecosystem of innovation. As early as January 2021, the market value of Tesla, a major American electric vehicle manufacturer, exceeded the total value of the top ten auto groups including Toyota, Volkswagen, General Motors, and Hyundai; Business mergers and acquisitions, layout of different strategic locations such as Mobility Service, in-vehicle systems, and component supply. With the advantages and vision of the world's largest electronics manufacturing foundry, Hon Hai Group, on the one hand, called for the establishment of the "MIH Electric Vehicle Alliance" in 2020, attracting more than 2,000 companies from around the world to invest in materials, software, hardware, and system integration to create in-vehicle System research and development platform; on the other hand, it is also led by the Semiconductor Research Institute of Hon Hai Research Institute, focusing on cutting-edge basic technology research and development and international academic cooperation, providing strong support. The third-generation semiconductor and LiDAR R&D focus on core value Guo Haozhong, director of the Semiconductor Research Institute of the Hon Hai Research Institute, said that under the guidance of Zhang Maozhong, an advisory member of the Hon Hai Research Institute and former president of the National Yangming Jiaotong University, the Semiconductor Research Institute will carry out important technology research and development related to electric vehicles from 2021. Another key technology for self-driving eyes, the sensor LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) for short, is the third-generation Wide Band Gap (WBG). Guo Haozhong pointed out that the key to the smooth operation of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) equipped with Level 2 electric vehicles is the built-in sensors. With the improvement of the level of self-driving functions in recent years, the main force of automotive sensors has changed from cameras, infrared rays, ultrasonic waves, and video cameras to millimeter-wave radars. To achieve Level 4, more sophisticated sensors are required. , It is bound to adopt the combination of LiDAR and AI. In addition to more precise detection of distance, position and shape, LiDAR can also capture a wider range of conditions by irradiating lasers in all directions, that is, the field of view will be wider than existing technologies. However, under severe weather conditions, the detection capability will also be affected, and compared with the most commonly used millimeter-wave radar, the cost is much more expensive. These are the key issues that must be solved through technological research and development. Solve the three major pain points in the development of the electric vehicle industry Another key technology is a must-have for all countries in the world: third-generation semiconductors, or compound semiconductors. Liu Yangwei, president of Hon Hai Research Institute and chairman of Hon Hai Technology Group, explained that there are currently three major pain points in the development of electric vehicles, namely, long charging time, insufficient battery life, and high prices. To solve the problem of high battery and high cost, we must go back to the basic problem, that is, the performance and function of semiconductors.
