TSMC's 7nm process intervenes in the automotive electronics market

Wafer foundry leader TSMC announced on the 28th that it is the world's leading 7-nanometer automotive design enablement platform (ADEP) to help customers accelerate the design process of artificial intelligence inference engines, advanced driving assistance systems, and automated driving applications.
 
TSMC said that since mass production of 7-nanometer technology began in 2018, it has industry-leading yield learning and quality assurance experience, can provide advanced processes that meet the increasing demand for high computing in automotive applications, and also meets strict durability and reliability. Sexual requirements. At present, TSMC's automotive design implementation platform has been certified to ISO 26262 functional safety standards, covering standard components, general-purpose input and output (GPIO) and SRAM-based silicon intellectual property, all based on TSMC's years of 7-nanometer production experience and solid support Design, and get the first film that is successful.

 
In addition, TSMC's basic silicon intellectual property has passed the strict verification of the first level specifications of AEC-Q100, providing customers with an extra layer of quality assurance. Process design kits and support from third-party silicon intellectual property vendors are also in place to help customers further focus on launching differentiated products in the market. TSMC not only steadily provides a 7-nanometer production capacity that meets the grade defect rate of automotive parts, but also promises to support the long life cycle of automotive products.
 
Hou Yongqing, senior deputy general manager of technology development of TSMC Research and Development Organization, said that automotive applications have always required the highest quality standards. With the advent of advanced driving assistance systems and automated driving, powerful and efficient computing capabilities have become indispensable to drive artificial intelligence. The inference engine performs road and traffic sensing to assist the driver to make decisions quickly. TSMC is in a unique dominant position, with rich 7-nanometer mass production experience and a complete design ecosystem, to help customers release innovation and succeed in the first investment, while meeting the strictness of the market for higher safety and smarter cars Claim.
 
In addition to a sound automotive silicon intellectual property ecosystem, TSMC Fab has obtained IATF 16949 certification to support the manufacture of automotive products. TSMC provides an Automotive Service Package to support wafer manufacturing, and has built-in "Zero Defect Mindset" to strengthen control to enable component manufacturing to achieve the automotive parts level per million defects (DPPM) target. The Safe Launch Program during production can also ensure the successful launch of new products.
