Automotive Electronics High Gross Profit | TSMC UMC Mediat

The unit price and gross profit of automobile electronics are high, the regulations are strict, and the threshold is high. Once adopted, it is usually a long order of five to seven years. Although the quantity is not as good as that of consumer electronics, the gross profit margin is much higher than that of consumer electronics, attracting semiconductors. Optics, IC design and system assembly and other electronics manufacturers have invested.

Wafer foundry TSMC and UMC fully deployed the automotive market. TSMC has become the first choice for OEMs of automotive semiconductor manufacturers because of its most complete processes. TSMC estimates that in the next four technology platforms, automotive electronics will play a role. One of the important kinetic energy of rising revenue and profit.

UMC believes that the future of automotive electronics does not blindly pursue advanced processes, so that UMC's existing processes have the opportunity to seize business opportunities. For the card market in Japan and the mainland automotive electronics market, UMC announced the acquisition of Fujitsu's joint venture with Fujitsu Semiconductor ( MIFS) The entire shareholding will help deepen the Japanese car market layout and catch up with electric vehicles, smart cars and car networking trends.

As for the IC design manufacturer MediaTek to cross the vehicle chip, integrate the car networking and autopilot applications, actively deploy the automotive electronics field, and through the past years of system single-chip (SoC) design experience, with the image processing technology, began to cut into Advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), high precision millimeter wave radar, car infotainment system, vehicle communication system and other four core areas.
