➂ The objective is to reduce dependency on Nvidia's processors, which are expensive and in high demand.

➀ European chip giants Infineon, STMicroelectronics, and NXP have recently expressed the importance of the Chinese market and plan to produce chips in China to better serve Chinese customers;

➁ Infineon is localizing the production of some products in China to meet the needs of Chinese customers and address their concerns about supply security;

➂ NXP aims to establish a Chinese chip supply chain for its customers and has established a business relationship with SMIC and is exploring partnerships with TSMC Nanjing and Hua Hong Semiconductor;

➃ STMicroelectronics has announced a partnership with Hua Hong Hongli to produce 40nm MCUs in China by the end of 2025, meeting market demand and optimizing the supply chain;

➄ STMicroelectronics has been increasing its cooperation with Chinese companies, establishing a joint wafer manufacturing plant in Chongqing for 8-inch silicon carbide chips and setting up a packaging and testing factory in Shenzhen;

➅ China is the world's largest automotive market and the demand for automotive chips is leading globally, accounting for 23.56% of the global automotive chip market in 2023.

➀ The China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) announced that the internationally first X/γ nuclear radiation dose detection chip developed by its Institute of Nuclear Safety and Environmental Engineering Technology has achieved mass production.

➁ The chip has a range of 100nSv/h to 10mSv/h for X/γ ray dose rate and can detect energy ranging from 50keV to 2MeV. It has a size of 15mm×15mm×3mm and can operate within a temperature range of -20℃ to 50℃ with a low power consumption of 1mW.

➂ The chip has a wide application prospect and can be easily integrated into various intelligent equipment such as smartphones, tablets, smart helmets, and drones, making it suitable for radiation detection in nuclear fields and other radiation dose monitoring scenarios.
