三、research and development in the field of Powertrain and Transmission

        In automotive semiconductors or in the ECU section, import dependence is particularly severe in Powertrain and Transmission. Because it is more important than any part in the safety of the driver, it emphasizes safety and zero defects. The iA is not only developing semiconductors such as car bodies and chassis, but also working on the development of original technologies and application-related technologies in the field that are urgently needed for localization in the future. Especially in the following aspects, through the perspective research, lay a solid foundation for the 100% localization of automotive semiconductors.
1. Master semiconductor circuit design, test and production technology for the manufacture of impurity-free semiconductors.
2. Ensure safety in accordance with ISO26262 international standards
3. Guarantee semiconductor quality and high reliability in various automotive environments
