Denso Corporation and UMC's Japan subsidiary (hereinafter referred to as USJC) have started a collaboration on the production of automotive power semiconductors. To meet the growing demand in the automotive market, the two companies will collaborate to establish an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) production line at USJC's 300mm fab, and plan to start producing IGBTs for 300mm wafers in Japan.
With the implementation of global carbon dioxide emission reduction operations, the development and popularization of electric vehicles are accelerating. In the meantime, IGBTs are the core devices used in power cards, high-efficiency power switches in inverters, and electric vehicle motors are driven and controlled by converting direct and alternating current to drive and control electric vehicle motors.
Now, Denso and USJC plan to start producing IGBTs on 300 mm wafers in the first half of 2023. In this collaboration, Denso will combine its own system-oriented IGBT equipment and process technology with USJC's 300mm wafer manufacturing technology to produce high-performance and cost-effective power semiconductors. At the same time, this collaboration is supported by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan's supply chain essential semiconductor carbon reduction and transformation plan.
Mr. Koji Arima, President of Denso, said, "I am glad that DENSO is one of the companies in Japan that is mass-producing IGBTs on 300mm wafers, and that semiconductors are becoming increasingly important in the automotive industry with the development of autonomous driving and electrified mobility technologies. Through this collaboration, we will realize a stable supply of power semiconductors and contribute to the electrification of automobiles.
"As Japan's premier wafer fab, USJC is committed to supporting the government's strategy to promote semiconductor production and transition to greener electric vehicles," said Mr. Tsuyu Kono, General Manager of USJC. We are confident that the combination of our automotive customer-certified wafer manufacturing services and Denso's expertise will enable us to produce high-quality products that will support future automotive development." ”
"We are pleased to have this win-win collaboration with DENSO, and for UMC, this important collaboration will expand our presence and reach in the automotive electronics space, with our diverse portfolio of purpose-built processes and IATF16949-certified fabs in different regions," said Jason Wang, General Manager of UMC. UMC is well positioned to meet the needs of the automotive sector, including driver assistance systems, infotainment, connectivity and powertrain. We look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with more partners in the automotive industry.
