Activity of ASRA
Purpose of the Establishment of ASRA
In order to realize the functions that support intelligent and electrified automobiles, there are high expectations for chiplet technology toward the implementation of high-performance computers in vehicles.
Since there are issues unique to automobiles such as functional safety, heat, noise, and vibration in the implementation of these technologies in vehicles, ASRA will build a collaborative system centered on automobile manufacturers and promote technological research to efficiently solve technological issues.
Direction of Application
- ASRA will conduct highly practical technological research for the implementation of technologies in vehicles by identifying issues based on use cases of automobile manufacturers.
- In addition to semiconductor manufacturers, ASRA will conduct turnkey technological research with the participation of a wide range of manufacturers of ECUs, tools, and operating systems and so on.
- ASRA will raise the level of human resource in semiconductor engineers by building a technological research system based on industry-government-academia collaboration.
Target Year for Commercialization
ASRA aims to establish elemental technologies through test sample fabrication and verification by 2028, and to apply them in mass production to automobiles from 2030.
