Semiconductor Basics<\/h2>\n\n

What is a semiconductor?<\/h3>\n\n
\n

A semiconductor has the characteristics of both a conductor (a substance that conducts electricity well) and an<\/strong>insulator (a substance that does not conduct electricity)<\/strong>, materials that control the flow of electrons.<\/em><\/strong> A semiconductor is a substance or material that controls the flow of electrons. Because semiconductors are used to store and express information in electronic devices by controlling the flow of electrons, they are used in a wide variety of electronic devices that require information processing, such as PCs and smartphones. In recent years, demand for semiconductors that combine higher information processing capacity with smaller size has soared in line with the development of generated AI. To meet this demand, semiconductor companies around the world are working hard to develop new semiconductors. However, only a limited number of companies are able to provide the necessary environment for research and development, and the market is dominated by the world’s leading super-major semiconductor companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this environment, governments are making a concerted effort to support the semiconductor industry on a national level, and this is due to the significant impact that semiconductors have on domestic industries<\/strong>. Semiconductors are used in all kinds of electronic devices, and the presence of higher-performance semiconductors is key to further improving their functions. While it is possible to rely on imports from developed semiconductor countries, relying on imports from other countries is risky, as they are often subject to restrictions as a result of changes in international relations, as seen in the U.S.-China trade friction. Therefore, various countries are rushing to establish domestic development and production systems.<\/p>\n\n

What products are semiconductors used in?<\/h3>\n\n
\"What<\/figure>\n\n

Semiconductors are used in a wide variety of applications, from everyday electronic devices to precision industrial machinery and cutting-edge AI technology, to name just a few.<\/p>\n\n

Among them, automobiles are equipped with a large number of semiconductors with all kinds of functions and are called ” running semiconductors<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n

In addition, more and more high-performance semiconductors are expected to be used in the future as vehicle performance improves, such as more advanced automated driving, and as electric vehicles (EVs) and new types of vehicles (micro-mobility, \u201cflying cars\u201d, etc.) become more popular. In the future, more and more high-performance semiconductors are expected to be used.<\/p>\n\n

Below is a summary of typical automotive semiconductor categories, their functions, and future technology trends.<\/p>\n\n
