中国汽车芯片公司扩大产能 - 2021年03月19日

Chinese companies are taking measures such as expanding capacity and creating special research teams to deal with the microchip shortage in the automobile industry, Shanghai Daily learned during the ongoing Semicon China.
Besides traditional smartphone and electronics demands, vehicles with autonomous and electric features have unexpectedly boosted the demand for chips. More than 90 percent of innovations in the automotive industry depend on chips, Zheng Li, chief executive of Shanghai-listed JCET, said at the opening session of Semicon.
During Semicon, Shanghai-based GTA Semiconductor displayed an entire automotive electronics system in its booth, featuring chips and sensors that connect and control vehicles. The company announced it is investing 35.9 billion yuan (US$5.7 billion) to build production wafer plants and other facilities in the Lingang area of Shanghai.
