Founded in August 2008, Shen Di Semiconductors is the first MEMS chip company in China that was created by a foreign student studying in the United States to produce series of inertial sensors such as commercial MEMS gyroscopes. Founder of the company, Shen Di Semiconductor (Shanghai) Limited Zou Bo, chairman of the company, said that since the release of the first SH200I 6-axis IMU chip prototype in China in December 2015, the product has been introduced into small-volume production in the fourth quarter of 2017. This year, it will fully promote the consumer market. Mass production.
As the first MEMS technology company to mass-produce 6-axis IMU chips in China, Shenzhen Shendi Semiconductor has successively introduced gyroscopes, six-axis IMUs, magnetic sensors, and silicon microphones, and will introduce pressure sensors and ultrasonic fingerprints in the future, striving to become domestically-owned. The most complete MEMS sensor product line company. The company's MEMS inertial sensor technology has been used on a large scale in pesticide spraying in precision agriculture, unmanned combine harvesters, industrial-grade intelligent manufacturing, industrial robotics, etc. In overseas markets, it is linked to Maytronics pools. Cleaning robot navigation technology achieves cooperation.
Since the founding of the company for 10 years, Shenzhen Shendi Semiconductor Co., Ltd. has successively created more than one in China. It has obtained 50 invention patents and 28 utility model patents. Shendi Semiconductors has accumulated a lot of attention in medical, automotive, and intelligent manufacturing. Performance MEMS inertial sensor market is getting better. Zou Bo pointed out: 'The new technology is emerging in an endless stream. This industry must not only highlight the cost but also technological innovation. It can be said that Shendi's products have its competitive cost advantage and stable quality. Consistency with mass production. '
According to data from market research institutions, currently, the market size of MEMS sensors reaches 12 billion U.S. dollars, and the market is expected to reach 30 billion annual shipments in 2021. The market size is about 20 billion U.S. dollars, and the compound annual growth rate is about 9%. The average growth rate of the Chinese MEMS device market is about 15%-20%. In terms of horizontal comparison, the growth rate of the Chinese integrated circuit market is about 7%-10%, and the growth rate of the MEMS device market is twice that of the integrated circuit market.
In terms of applications, consumer electronics is currently the largest application area of MEMS sensors, followed by medical and automotive electronics. These three companies together account for more than 85% of the total market share. With the update of technology, Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) has been widely used. Smart phones, sports cameras, wearable smart glasses and other products, of which the most important is the MEMS sensor. It can be seen that China's MEMS sensor market has unlimited potential.
In the face of huge market opportunities and strong industry competitors, China's domestic MEMS sensor manufacturers also face many challenges. 'Break overseas monopoly requires technological innovation, and this innovation timeline is continuously shrinking, at present, in terms of our technology. , only two years to three years, but the level of application has been the same. 'Zou Bo stressed that 'in the huge market demand, not saturated, the Chinese core has the strength to compete with the international giant, Shen Di also Will fight for the rise of China's MEMS industry!'
