Hon Hai will develop the third generation of semiconductor technology this year and establish a robot manufacturing platform

IT Home January 13 news, according to the "Economic Daily" news, Hon Hai Group announced on January 12 that it will continue to implement the 3+3 strategy this year, which are three major future industries and three core technologies. In addition to expanding the open platform for intelligent electric vehicles and three prototype models, Hon Hai will also develop third-generation semiconductor technology (SiC silicon carbide components, etc.) and the integration of advanced silicon optoelectronics technology for electric vehicles and robotics products.

These three future industries are: electric vehicles, digital health, and robotics, and the three core technologies are: artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and new generation communications.

Hon Hai pointed out on the official website that the existing market size of the three major future industries is huge, each with an industry size of more than 3 trillion US dollars, and the compound annual growth rate is greater than 20%. The three core technologies can be used as the core competitiveness of the group to develop the three major industries.

In the field of electric vehicles, Hon Hai will expand the scale of three major models such as the self-developed prototype Model C SUV, model E flagship sedan, and Model T smart electric bus based on the intelligent electric vehicle open platform, and increase Hon Hai's influence in the global electric vehicle industry.

In the field of digital health, Hon Hai will use core capabilities such as precision assembly, opto-electromechanical systems, key component development, semiconductor packaging and testing, and combine software and hardware, big data, wireless communications and other technologies.

In the field of robotics, Hon Hai pointed out that continuing the energy of industrial robots, developing the mobile robot industry, investing in key robot technologies, and also establishing a robot manufacturing platform to assist customers in creating service robots.

In semiconductor technology, Hon Hai pointed out that the strategic goal is transformation, technology, autonomy, intelligence, through custom specifications to create product differentiation, and alliances with international manufacturers, in-depth cooperation in products, technology, production capacity.

Hon Hai said that it has four core strategies in the semiconductor field, including providing stable small ICs, co-designing its own ICs, independent development of key technologies, and the deployment of diversified production capacity.

In terms of artificial intelligence technology, Hon Hai pointed out that through the establishment of a software research and development center, it will continue to promote software-defined enterprises and software-adaptive vehicles, and plan relevant open platforms to share AI data, AI algorithms and AI models with the industry.

In the new generation of communications, Hon Hai has also set up a research institute to focus on the research and development of B5G / 6G wireless communication network technology, which can be applied in industries including new energy vehicles and robots in the future.

IT Home learned that Hon Hai said in November 2021 that the revenue scale of semiconductor projects is about NT$70 billion, and it is expected that by 2023, the revenue scale of semiconductor projects can exceed 100 billion yuan. Hon Hai previously acquired a 6-inch fab from Wanghong and expects to start production in the first half of this year. It is expected that as soon as 2023, 6-inch fabs can mass-produce third-generation semiconductor components of silicon carbide (SiC).
