Recently, the Shanghai Automotive Integrated Circuit Industry Chain Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance was officially established. It is reported that the alliance is guided by the China Automotive Chip Alliance and led by Shanghai Anzhixin Automotive Integrated Circuit Co., Ltd. It will be based in the Yangtze River Delta and gather resources from leading enterprises, universities, research institutes, industry organizations, and other links in the entire industry chain to vertically connect the upstream and downstream industrial chains of equipment, materials, design, wafer manufacturing, packaging testing, inspection and verification, and vehicle applications, supporting the China Automotive Chip Alliance to jointly build an independent innovation ecosystem for China's automotive chip industry.
At the same time, the China Automotive Chip Alliance and the Shanghai Automotive Integrated Circuit Alliance signed an on-site agreement to jointly establish the "China Automotive Chip Industry Innovation Strategic Alliance East China Operation Center", to assist the development and growth of the automotive and chip industries in Shanghai and East China, promote collaborative innovation of the entire automotive chip industry chain upstream and downstream, better serve the automotive industry chain in Shanghai and East China, and accelerate the formation of an industrial innovation ecosystem.
It is reported that the China Automotive Chip Industry Innovation Strategic Alliance was established in 2020, with more than 400 member units. It focuses on key tasks such as connecting supply and demand in the automotive chip industry, sorting out the list of available chips, improving the standard system, and accelerating the adoption of domestically produced chips. It has explored and built an innovative ecosystem for the automotive chip industry with Chinese characteristics.
Wu Hanming, an academician of the CAE Member, said that the "new four modernizations" of automobiles have brought about industrial changes. The automobile chip market is huge. The shortage of cores in 2021 will accelerate the replacement of domestic automobile chips. However, the importance of independent design and manufacturing is very small. At the same time, the particularity of automobile chips has also brought industrial problems such as weak manufacturing orientation process, and the Fabless+OEM model is congenitally deficient. Therefore, automobile chips need to promote the construction of an integrated manufacturing and design pilot platform to support small batch, multi variety, customized innovation and development.
