China Automotive Chip Industry Innovation Strategic Alliance Power Semiconductor Branch was established

On the morning of April 7, the China Automotive Chip Industry Innovation Strategic Alliance Power Semiconductor Branch was established. Dong Yang serves as the chairman, and the vice-chairman units include 7 companies including Hunan Sanan Semiconductor Co., Ltd., BYD Semiconductor Co., Ltd., China Resources Microelectronics Co., Ltd., Jiaxing Star Semiconductor Co., Ltd., and CRRC Times Electric Vehicle Co., Ltd. Covering the entire vehicle, auto parts and chip industries. The branch is committed to achieving more efficient collaboration between the upstream and downstream of the market industry.

On September 19, 2020, the "China Automotive Chip Industry Innovation Strategic Alliance" spearheaded by the National New Energy Vehicle Technology Innovation Center (referred to as the "National Innovation Center") as a national common technology innovation platform was established in Beijing. The alliance strives to use synergy to enhance the core competitiveness of the automotive chip industry across the entire industry chain.

In recent years, new energy vehicles and smart cars have become more popular, and the scale of automotive chip applications has increased rapidly. However, my country's independent design and development capabilities for automotive chips are still insufficient, and there is an urgent need to achieve independent safety and controllability.

The alliance cross-borderly integrates the two major industries of automobiles and chips, and is jointly established by uniting the upstream and downstream of the industry chain. It mainly includes more than 70 vehicle companies, automotive chip companies, automotive electronics suppliers, automotive software suppliers, universities and colleges, and industry organizations. Household enterprises and institutions. The alliance takes "cross-border integration, symbiosis and win-win, industrial chain, and ecological alliance" as its operating philosophy. It aims to establish an innovative ecosystem for my country's automotive chip industry and promote the independent, safe, controllable, and comprehensive and rapid development of my country's automotive chip industry.

Sun Fengchun, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that the alliance will coordinate and link the innovative elements of "government, industry, academia, and research with capital and innovation" to do what a single enterprise or industry cannot do. It will strive to promote domestic substitution and international cooperation of automotive chips and related core technologies, and promote the construction of a complete The independent supply system and internal circulation pattern of key automotive chips ensure the safety and stability of the industrial chain.

During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the alliance will also carry out technology exploration, achievement recommendation, resource docking, product promotion, talent training, industry exchanges, international cooperation, etc., to open up technical channels and industrial channels for the on-board application of independent automotive chips.

It is understood that the National Innovation Center and alliance member units have formed a vehicle-standard chip testing and certification working group with more than 100 units participating in autonomous vehicle-standard power semiconductors and other automotive chips, researched and formulated independent vehicle-standard chip testing and evaluation standards, and carried out Third-party voluntary evaluation and certification work for nearly 10 power devices/modules.
