Infineon and Lianhua Electronics Co., Ltd. Announce Manufacturing Agreement for Automotive Applications

December 17, 2014, Munich, Germany and Hsinchu, Taiwan – semiconductor manufacturer Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) and global leader in semiconductor manufacturing industry, Lianhua Electronics Co., Ltd. (NYSE) : UMC; TSE: 2303) Announced the expansion of its manufacturing partnership to power semiconductors for automotive applications. Prior to the expansion of the partnership, UMC had been working with Infineon to produce logic chips for more than 15 years. Under the recently signed agreement, the two companies will work together to transfer Infineon's automotive-grade quality intelligent power technology (SPT9) to UMC and expand the production contract to 300mm wafers. The two parties plan to start production of SPT9 products at UMC's 300mm factory in early 2018.

SPT9 is Infineon's proprietary 130nm process technology that integrates microcontroller intelligence and power technology on a single chip.

“We are honored to announce a milestone partnership with Infineon to introduce SPT9 into UMC’s technology roadmap,” said U-Core CEO Po-Wen Yen. “Automotive applications have always been our priority in terms of technology, capacity and customers. We are pleased to extend our cooperation with Infineon to the most advanced automotive power semiconductor applications. UMC has superb manufacturing We are capable of meeting the highest quality standards of the automotive industry in class 0. We are fully committed to providing products that meet the stringent quality standards of the automotive industry to meet the market requirements of automotive integrated circuit suppliers such as Infineon."

“We believe that UMC can be qualified for Infineon's demanding automotive applications and become our long-term and innovative supplier with reliable capabilities,” said Jochen Hanebeck, President, Automotive Division, Infineon Technologies AG. “We have strong system capabilities and are the technology leader in automotive power applications. With SPT9, Infineon has increased the integration of power semiconductors to unprecedented levels.”

SPT9 is a highly integrated system solution for automotive electronics

To meet the higher functional and safety requirements of automotive applications and to achieve more compact and cost-effective solutions, power semiconductors need to integrate more and more digital logic modules. In 2009, Infineon was the world's first semiconductor manufacturer to offer automotive-grade embedded power technology combining complex digital logic, sensor interfaces and power electronics based on 130nm technology. The combination of building blocks manufactured by three different manufacturing processes enables semiconductor devices to be highly integrated and capable of many tasks for other system components. Since fewer components are required in the application, the failure rate of the vehicle control system is reduced. With SPT9, even a feature-rich semiconductor can be designed to be very small. SPT9 has a wide range of applications, such as intelligent control of automotive motors, electric window regulators, wipers, sunroofs, power seats and fan/blower control, oil pumps and pumps, airbags, and audio amplifiers.

market status

UMC is the world's leading semiconductor foundry with annual revenues of more than $4 billion. In 2013, the global automotive semiconductor market had a market capitalization of US$25.1 billion, and Infineon ranked second with a 9.6% market share.
