“Korean Trends 369” Korean government takes the lead! Modern and Samsung teamed up to solve the chip shortage

South Korea Industrial Trade Department, Samsung Electronics and Modern Motors, South Korea Automotive Research Institutes, and other relevant organizations signed an agreement to strengthen cooperation between automobile semiconductor supply and demand companies.

According to the Industries, the agreement is established to strengthen the establishment of a healthy ecosystem in the Korean automotive semiconductor industry, and support the research and development of core semiconductor for future automobiles. According to the agreement, the government plans to lays the foundation for the cooperation between the company and the agency, leading the development of automobile semiconductors, and realizes the preceding labor.

A government official said: “Since Samsung Electronics and Modern Auto are very likely to make full cooperation, we plan to make it more.” 123]

However, there is no specific cooperation program between two companies on the agreement ceremony. An industry side said: “In strengthening cooperation, it will make the semiconductor supply chain so smoothly, but it is correct to strengthen cooperation through agreement.”

Although South Korea’s Samsung is a leader in a smartphone chip, South Korea is also a leading position in the world in terms of electronic equipment such as liquid crystal panels, hard disk storage. However, in the field of automobile semiconductor, Samsung is not enough, because for Samsung, the profit of the car chip is lower, according to data statistics. The share of South Korea in the automotive semiconductor market is only 2.3%. It is weaker than the US (31.4%), Japan (22.%) and Germany (17.7%). Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have been focusing on high performance, profitable memory. The automobile semiconductor product is long, the warranty is long, the profit is low, so domestic companies are reluctant to produce them.

By cooperation with Korean related companies, the Korean government has been able to apply products that may apply to large-scale production vehicles (such as the following power semiconductor) , Image sensors, battery management chips, and applications have conducted a medium and long-term cooperation. Processors for info, and processors and AI accelerators for automatic driving vehicles, and communication for future carsThe letter processor.

In addition, the Korean government decided to establish a system that supports automotive semiconductor full cycle in 2022.

In the semiconductor field, industrial academic research institutions participate in the protection of core design assets (IP). In the future, we are designed to automatically drive, network and driver-centric next-generation application platforms, and promote the development of high reliability core semiconductors based on demand (R & D). At the same time, it plans to improve the performance of the semiconductor fusion components through cooperation between automobile semiconductor IT, and activate the amount generating system in the case of providing custom support for each company.

At the same time, it also plans to establish and develop through investigations and analysis of the trends and prospects of automotive semiconductor markets and major technical patents this year. Road map of long-term automobile semiconductor technology.

Although South Korea is a shortage of resources, small territory is small, and the number of population is not a small country.

However, South Korea has born world-class giants such as Samsung Electronics, LG Chemical, and modern Kia. This is the main reason is that South Korea will focus on the national power of the country to develop one or two industries. Then let this two industries become the world leading, and then drive the joint development of the affiliated industry.

The strong combination of modern cars and Samsung Electronics will inevitably help modern cars solve the chip short board. Without excluding the timing of the global automotive chip shortage, Samsung Electronics will have a protrusion in the field of automotive chip.
