➀ The automotive industry is experiencing a revolution with the rise of software-defined vehicles and AI integration.

➁ Traditional ECU architectures are shifting towards centralized and zonal designs for efficiency and data handling.

➂ Soitec's FD-SOI technology is crucial for enhancing performance, energy efficiency, and reliability in next-generation automotive applications.

➀ Engineered substrate technology is driving the semiconductor industry from traditional planar scaling to innovative materials and 3D integration.

➁ Companies like Soitec, Intel, and Samsung are leading the adoption of this technology.

➂ Foundries are increasingly recognizing the strategic importance of engineered substrates like Fully Depleted SOI (FD-SOI) for their benefits in cost and performance.

➀ Indie Semiconductor, a specialist in automotive SiPho and sensors, plans to use Globalfoundries' 22nm FD-SOI process for its 77GHz and 120GHz radar SoCs designed for ADAS and industrial applications.

➁ The adoption of automotive radar is being accelerated by global vehicle safety regulations, new car assessment programs, and consumer demand for convenience features.

➂ indie's 77 GHz SoCs are used for long-range detection and applications like FCW, AEB, BSD, and cross-traffic alert, while the 120 GHz SoCs are aimed at cabin applications like occupant monitoring and vital sign detection.

➀ The traditional CMOS process faces challenges due to the limits of photolithography and the need for new technologies to maintain further development.

➁ FinFET has become the mainstream choice for semiconductor devices, pushing the development of semiconductor processes to 7nm, 5nm, and even 3nm.

➂ FD-SOI, once overlooked, is gaining prominence due to its unique technical characteristics and advantages.

➃ FD-SOI technology is growing rapidly, with the global market size expected to increase from $930 million in 2022 to $4.09 billion in 2027.

➄ FD-SOI technology has advantages such as higher performance, lower power consumption, and better radio frequency performance.

➅ FD-SOI technology is particularly suitable for low-power devices such as mobile phones and IoT.

➆ The development of FD-SOI technology has been driven by key players in the semiconductor industry, with the industry actively promoting the technology's development and expanding its application boundaries.
