Samsung may contract the fifth generation autonomous driving chip for Tesla, using 4nm technology
According to BusinessKorea, industry insiders stated on August 28th that the automotive semiconductor market has always been a market centered around low-end products in a multi product, small batch production system. However, the demand for high-performance semiconductors has increased due to autonomous driving and automotive infotainment functions, which may see explosive growth.
The report states that the miniaturization trend in the automotive semiconductor market may help Samsung Electronics gain more OEM customers. Samsung is the company most likely to win the order for Tesla's fifth generation autonomous driving chip (HW 5.0), which will use cutting-edge 4nm technology.
It is reported that Samsung Electronics has supplied 14nm Fully Autonomous Driving (FSD) semiconductors to Tesla, with the goal of achieving a 2nm process for automotive chips by 2027.
In addition, the growth in demand for automotive chips is expected to also benefit Samsung's position in the field of memory semiconductors. In July of this year, Samsung announced the start of mass production of the next generation 256 GB Universal Flash (UFS) 3.1 NAND flash memory for in car infotainment systems, and stated its goal of surpassing Micron in the automotive storage market by 2025.
The growth of demand in the automotive semiconductor market has intensified the competition between Samsung Electronics and TSMC. Facing the automotive semiconductor market, TSMC has finalized plans to build a 10 billion euro (14.45 billion US dollars) semiconductor factory in Dresden, Germany. TSMC stated that the new factory will focus on products such as automotive microcontrollers (MCUs), which will be built based on the traditional 28nm process.
