Not only for EVs and hybrid vehicles, but also for pure fuel vehicles, semiconductors are essential components. This is a fact that people have witnessed.

Take recent clean diesel vehicles (Clean Diesel Vehicle) as an example, their mode is as follows: each combustion cycle injects fuel about five times, effectively using fuel, extracting torque, although fuel consumption increases, but can discharge clean gas as much as possible.

Source: Global Semiconductor Watch On November 28th, the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics Organization (WSTS) released its latest forecast for the semiconductor market. Due to the widespread adoption of generative AI and the rapid increase in demand for related semiconductor products, as well as the expected significant recovery in storage demand, the estimated global semiconductor sales for 2024 have been revised upwards from the previous estimate of $575.997 billion on June 6 to $588.364 billion, an annual increase of 13.1%, surpassing the historical high of $574.084 billion in 2022.

Source: Sina Weibo, Global Semiconductor Observer Due to the decline in demand, the memory market is under pressure from oversupply and price decline in 2023. However, with the arrival of the fourth quarter, the prices of storage chip products are gradually rising, and the storage chip market is expected to overcome the trough. The latest financial reports of the world's top five original manufacturers also confirm the above viewpoint.

On November 14th, Great Wall Motors announced that the IGBT independently developed and produced by Xindong Semiconductor, a subsidiary of Great Wall Holdings, has achieved mass production and installation. The project took only 14 months from project initiation and development to installation. At present, the construction of Xindong Semiconductor Wuxi factory has been completed. Since the foundation was laid in February this year, it has taken 8 months for the main body of the factory to be capped, and the first module production line was successfully put into operation on October 28th. The factory has a first-class testing environment in China, which can meet the strict quality management requirements of IGBT power modules, quickly respond to vehicle requirements, and develop products in a targeted manner. In addition, it is reported that in October this year, Great Wall Motors sold 131300 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 31.04%. The cumulative sales for this year reached 995400 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 10.29%. Among them, Euler brand cars sold 10800 units in October, a year-on-year increase of 94.29%; The sales of new energy vehicles reached 30551 units, with a cumulative sales of 200897 units from January to October.

Source: Science and Technology News Recently, foreign media Wccftech reported that one of the popular trends for 2024 is terminal AI, which is now built into multiple chipsets such as Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Dimensity 9300, and Exynos2400. There is new news suggesting that smartphones with AI capabilities require more memory, and Android phones with built-in AI capabilities will have a minimum memory capacity of 20GB RAM as the standard. Although 8GB RAM is still the standard for Android smartphones, it has been seen that phones with higher memory than most laptops or PCs have not yet become standard. In order to ensure the smooth execution of AI imaging functions on future devices, Android phones require at least 12GB of RAM, as AI applications and other functions require over 20GB of RAM to operate smoothly. There have been smartphones with over 20GB RAM in the market, and OnePlus has also released high-capacity memory devices, but at that time there was no AI function. If we expect AI functionality to run smoothly, smartphones in 2024 will require higher RAM. It is not yet certain that all Android phone manufacturers will follow suit, considering that multiple Android phone manufacturers are continuously investing in AI, AI will become a key focus for devices in 2024. Therefore, the industry believes that with higher RAM requirements, hardware specifications are more important for modern AI devices than ever before.

Power semiconductor devices refer to electronic devices that can directly achieve electrical energy conversion or circuit control in main circuits, mainly used for power conversion, including rectification, inversion, DC chopping, as well as AC power control, frequency conversion, or phase change. Unlike other types of semiconductors, power semiconductors can withstand high voltage and large current, usually operating in switching state, and are the core of electrical energy conversion and circuit control, playing a key role in efficient generation, transmission, conversion, storage, and control of electrical energy.
Power semiconductor devices can be divided into bipolar power semiconductors and unipolar power semiconductor devices according to carrier type. Bipolar power semiconductor devices include...

What is a Semiconductor?









        "Semiconductor" is a substance whose characteristics are between "conductor" and "insulator", the former conducting electricity like metal, the latter almost not conducting electricity. The ease of current flow is related to the electrical...

【The 6th China International Import Expo was held in Shanghai from November 5th to 10th. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin stated at a regular press conference on the 3rd that this year's CIIE is expected to welcome guests from 154 countries, regions, and international organizations, attracting over 3400 exhibitors to register. Since the first CIIE was held in 2018, its "circle of friends" has continued to expand, and its "charm" in the world is becoming stronger and stronger. Many countries have sent their largest or highest level delegations to attend this year's CIIE. Leaders from multiple countries, including Australian Prime Minister Albanese, Cuban Prime Minister Marrero, Kazakhstan Prime Minister Smilov, and Serbian Prime Minister Brnabic, will attend the opening ceremony and related activities of the CIIE. The United States has sent a delegation led by a senior official for the first time, and Russia will hold more than 500 business conferences at this year's CIIE. On the 3rd, relevant experts stated in an interview with Global Times reporters that at a time when many regions of the world are facing geopolitical conflicts and crises, and the trend of "anti globalization" is constantly surging, the active participation of so many countries, enterprises, and guests in the CIIE is not only attracted by China's huge market and open policies, but also demonstrates the desire of various countries for open development and win-win cooperation. The CIIE is a microcosm of China's continuous expansion of high-level opening-up to the outside world, and sends a strong voice to promote inclusive growth of the world economy, "Wang Wenbin emphasized on the 3rd Create numerous' firsts' and 'firsts' Wang Wenbin stated at a press conference on the 3rd that the CIIE has facilitated the domestic circulation, linked the domestic and international dual circulation, showcased the new pulse of the Chinese economy to the world, injected pressure into the world economy, and provided an important platform for foreign enterprises to tap into the vast market potential of China. Many numbers indicate that this year's CIIE will create numerous "firsts," "firsts," and "firsts in history. It is reported that in addition to welcoming guests from 154 countries, regions, and international organizations, as well as over 3400 exhibitors, more than 70 countries and international organizations have confirmed their participation in the national exhibition, covering five continents. Among them, 11 countries are participating for the first time, and 34 countries are participating offline for the first time. The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce previously stated that the exhibition area of enterprises reached a new high of 367000 square meters. The number of Fortune 500 companies, industry leaders, and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises participating in the exhibition is the highest in history. The CIIE has set up a semiconductor zone in the technology equipment exhibition area, including Qualcomm ASML、 Texas Instruments, Canon, Nikon, Panlin, Samsung Electronics and other companies participated in the exhibition, covering multiple aspects such as semiconductor manufacturing equipment, wafer manufacturing, chip design, etc.
