On March 1, according to the official news of Core Integration, in order to deepen the cooperation of automotive chips, Core Integration has officially signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with Ideal Automobile.

According to the agreement, Core integration will carry out comprehensive strategic cooperation with ideal Automobile in the field of silicon carbide, and the two sides will actively promote the product process together to jointly enhance the market competitiveness of both sides. At the same time, the two sides are also actively discussing the next step will be in-depth cooperation in analog IC and other fields.

Meng Qingpeng, vice president of Ideal Automobile Supply Chain, said: "The R&D strategies of both companies match, and more cooperation opportunities can be explored in the future. The two sides can establish a mechanism for sharing research and development data, advance research and development needs, and work together to provide more competitive products to the market."

As a major wafer foundry in China, Chiplink is mainly focused on MEMS, IGBT, MOSFET, analog IC, MCU fields, and is a leading domestic OEM with the production capacity of automotive IGBT/SiC chip and module and digital-analog hybrid high voltage analog chip. Its SiC MOSFET products have been used in mass production of new energy vehicle owner drive inverters.

Silicon carbide MOSFET has the excellent performance that can increase the charging speed of new energy vehicles by 5-10 times, increase the driving range by more than 8%, reduce energy consumption by 50%, and therefore become the key components required for new energy vehicles, and the demand for cars has increased rapidly in recent years.

According to reports, the first domestic 8-inch SiC device R & D and production line under construction by Core Integration will be opened in 2024, and cooperation agreements have been signed with a number of new energy vehicle Omanufacturers. Previously, Core integration has reached cooperation with NexteV, Xiaopeng Automobile, BYD and other car companies.
