I It is reported on the Internet that ON Semiconductor and Volkswagen Group have reached a strategic cooperation agreement on silicon carbide technology for next-generation electric vehicles, and will supply semiconductors and module products to the latter. It can be seen that silicon carbide is continuing to lead a new era of power quality.
II In 2016, ON Semiconductor has started semiconductors to help the development of the automotive industry. By 2023, ON Semiconductor has tripled its silicon carbide revenue.
III Recently, ON Semiconductor also cooperated with Ampt to help suppliers of photovoltaic power plants improve energy efficiency.
IV It is reported that ON Semiconductor is the premier supplier of high-performance silicon solutions for energy-efficient electronic products. Volkswagen (German: Volkswagen) is an automobile manufacturing company headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, and is also the core enterprise of the Volkswagen Group, one of the world's four largest automobile manufacturers. Volkswagen CEO Obermo believes that Volkswagen will never start a price war with its American competitor (Tesla). The Volkswagen CFO said that he expects to achieve a huge return on electric vehicle transportation in 2026. Obviously, the new 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan has already received a series of signs of hybrid system support; in the beginning of 2023, Volkswagen's 26 millionth car will set off.
V And as Volkswagen and Toyota take turns changing coaches, the "pain" of electrification continues. In an unfavorable environment, the overall design of the front face of Volkswagen's new Tanyue is still hard-core: split grille, with sharp headlights on both sides, full of visual impact! It is obvious that Volkswagen's new Tanyue with 2.0T and 12-inch central control screen can be regarded as the ideal type for the customer group. In addition, spy photos of the new Volkswagen ID.3 have also been exposed, and its appearance has not changed much.
VI Detailed professional information shows that silicon carbide, the core material of the third semiconductor, is an inorganic substance with a chemical formula of SiC. It is made of quartz sand, petroleum coke (or coal coke), wood chips (salt is needed to produce green silicon carbide) and other raw materials. It is smelted by resistance furnace at high temperature. Driven by downstream demand, the silicon carbide industry is ushering in accelerated expansion. With the overall big stride of silicon carbide, the vigorous expansion of production has stirred up the pattern, and the industrial chain has been intensively united. It is estimated that silicon carbide will be in short supply in the next 3 to 5 years. Therefore, the SIC agreement between ON Semiconductor and Volkswagen is to make efforts in the supply of semiconductor module products such as silicon carbide, and to strengthen the cooperation in silicon carbide technology for next-generation electric vehicles.
VII In addition to ON Semiconductor and Volkswagen, another technology giant, STMicroelectronics, also plans to vigorously develop silicon carbide this year. It will spend about US$4 billion in capital expenditures on expanding production of 12-inch wafers and silicon carbide. American chipmaker Wolfspeed also plans to spend more than 2 billion euros to build the world's largest silicon carbide semiconductor factory in Germany. All in all, there is an urgent need to improve the efficiency of new energy sources. In the next 3 to 5 years, the supply of silicon carbide will be in short supply in all links. The acceleration of the global silicon carbide industry chain is the general trend.
