About Infineon:
Infineon designs develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of semiconductors and system solutions. The focus of its activities is on automotive electronics, industrial electronics, RF applications, mobile devices and hardware-based security. Infineon is a world leader in semiconductors. Combining entrepreneurial success with responsible action, at Infineon we make the world easier, safer and greener. Barely visible, semiconductors have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. We are playing a key role in shaping a better future – with microelectronics that link the digital and the real world. Our semiconductors enable smart mobility, efficient energy management and the secure capture and transfer of data.
About Automotive:
The segment Automotive has more than 40 years of experience in the field of automotive electronics. We focus on the core of the car: drivetrain, safety, comfort. We benefit more than other semiconductor manufacturers both from the trend towards electro-mobility and the development towards automated driving. Both trends are greatly increasing the average semiconductor content per vehicle and are expected to account for approximately half of our growth in the Automotive segment over the next five years. In addition, we also continue to benefit from new functions in the areas of lighting, comfort and safety as well as from the further electrification of conventional car functions. Our industry-wide leading portfolio of power semiconductors, sensors and microcontrollers puts us in an excellent position on the one hand to address the systems of today and on the other hand to actively shape the transformation of the automotive industry. We are the undisputed market leader in silicon-based IGBTs and IGBT modules; our expertise pushes the development of silicon carbide-based power semiconductors forward. As number two in the area of sensors, today we already benefit greatly from the continuously increasing number of driver assistance systems. As the degree of automation increases, so does the number of sensors per vehicle. In the long-term radar systems will be enhanced by including additional sensor technologies, a development we are anticipating for example with the development of a Lidar (light detection and ranging) solution. And with the microcontrollers of the AURIX™ family, we benefit from the trend towards higher levels of automation. These devices control electronic systems (for example steering and braking systems) and work as a host controller that ensures the functional safety of central computing platforms.
