have you seen this smart cockpit 7nm chip? If not, then it's not anywhere near production.

NX9031 is an ADAS chip and it's not in production usage either.

That's the thing about NIO. Start hyping it's product long before it's developed.

Fundamentally, the core of EV tech and high voltage system is all around these SiC modules, sensor driver ICs, analog chips and control chips and such. These are the things you need for high voltage platform which allows for superior performance.

A little less focus on AI inference chip. Basically, anyone can develop that at this point. How many Chinese chipmakers are actually doing full suite of auto chips outside of Novosense and BYD?

nVidia has just been placed under investigation for potential violation of China anti-trust laws.

I wonder if this is a sign that production of Chinese AI chips is now catching up, and finally now it's time to do this.

The State Administration for Market Regulation opened an investigation into the company’s recent behavior as well as the circumstances surrounding the acquisition of Mellanox Technologies Ltd., China Central Television said in a report on Monday. Beijing gave approval for the deal four years ago, on condition that Nvidia not discriminate against Chinese firms.
The Chinese government had approved Nvidia’s $7 billion acquisition of the Israeli computer networking equipment maker on condition that included that Mellanox provide information about new products to rivals within 90 days of making them available to Nvidia. Nvidia also agreed that Chinese chipmakers would get a chance to make sure their products work well with Mellanox’s technology.

Wuhan Jiangcheng Industrial Investment Fund unveiled: focusing on the pan-semiconductor industry, with an initial scale of 12 billion yuan​


On October 21, the first phase of the Jiangcheng Industrial Investment Fund with a scale of 12 billion yuan was unveiled in Wuhan, which will effectively promote the high-quality development of Wuhan's integrated circuit industry.

It is reported that Jiangcheng Fund focuses on the pan-semiconductor industry and invests in chain-leading enterprises and related industrial projects. It is mainly composed of existing equity assets and fiscal cash injections, and Wuhan Financial Holding Group will perform the main responsibility of investment management. Starting from 2024, Wuhan municipal finance will allocate a certain amount of industrial fund budget to Jiangcheng Fund every year, striving to expand the fund scale to 50 billion yuan within 3 to 5 years, and drive a 100 billion yuan industrial cluster, financial empowerment of more than 300 billion yuan, and form a full life cycle fund layout.

Wuhan Financial Holding Group introduced that Jiangcheng Fund can contribute more than 50% in angel funds, seed funds, and technology achievement transformation funds, and the upper limit of direct investment projects is 10% of the paid-in capital of direct investment projects. In principle, the upper limit of investment for participating in the establishment of parent-child funds and direct investment projects is 1 billion yuan. For particularly important projects, after review, they may not be subject to the above investment ratio and investment amount restrictions.

Dinglong: holding subsidiary's immersion ArF and KrF wafer photoresist products received the first customer order​

Dinglong Co., Ltd. issued an announcement stating that a certain immersion ArF wafer photoresist and a certain KrF wafer photoresist product produced by the company's controlling subsidiary, Dinglong (Qianjiang) New Materials Co., Ltd., have successfully passed customer verification, and recently received orders from two domestic mainstream wafer factory customers, with a total purchase amount of more than one million yuan.​

1733755596115.png

It further stated that this first order for high-end wafer photoresist is another major market breakthrough after the company successively introduced display panel photoresist and advanced packaging photoresist to clients and achieved sales. It will further enhance the company's overall innovation capabilities in the three major photoresist application fields of semiconductors and pan-semiconductors, broaden customer service capabilities, and consolidate the company's competitive advantages in the field of import-substituting innovative materials platform enterprises.

As a platform company for various core "bottleneck" import-substituting innovative materials, Dinglong has deployed more than 20 high-end wafer photoresists, all of which are models actively commissioned by customers, many of which have not yet been broken through in China. So far, the company has 2 products that have passed customer verification tests and obtained purchase orders, and another 8 products are in the customer testing stage. The overall testing is progressing smoothly, and the remaining models are in R&D and internal testing.

Based on the company's technical advantages in organic synthesis (monomers, PAGs, Quenchers and other photoresist small molecule component development platforms), polymer synthesis (photoresist resin development platform), OLED panel photoresist and semiconductor advanced packaging photoresist development accumulation, engineering equipment design, etc., as well as the company's close cooperation with mainstream wafer manufacturers through semiconductor CMP process materials, Dinglong Co., Ltd. designs monomer structure, resin structure, formula, etc. according to the technical requirements of KrF and ArF photoresists, improves the process levels of purification, filtration, mixing, etc., and develops special resins for KrF and ArF photoresists and their high-purity monomers, photoacid generators and other key materials and photoresist products, realizing the independent and controllable localization of the entire process from key materials to photoresist products, meeting the needs of downstream customers for safe and independent control of the industrial chain and supply chain.

Huawei's 5G positioning technology breakthrough: sub-meter accuracy, high-precision positioning at low cost!​


Huawei recently announced that it has successfully completed the key technology verification of 5G cellular high-precision and low-cost positioning under the organization of the IMT-2020 (5G) Promotion Group. This technology is based on the Sub6G 5G UL-TDOA (Uplink Time Difference of Arrival) enhanced measurement technology solution, and has achieved sub-meter positioning accuracy in both ordinary indoor scenarios and 1-minute X deployment scenarios. Test data shows that in LOS (Line of Sight) scenarios in underground parking lots and open areas of office areas, the overall positioning accuracy reached sub-meter level (less than 1 meter) using two terminals including Huawei commercial mobile phones, which is comparable to the accuracy capability of pure active indoor deployment.
TDOA geometric positioning technology measures time delay and calculates the target position, relying on the coordinates of multiple reference stations to determine the specific location. Compared with conventional communication services, this process requires more stations to ensure overlapping coverage to achieve higher positioning accuracy.
