The BYD Jinan Semiconductor Project is a multi-billion yuan power semiconductor initiative focused on the R&D and manufacturing of automotive-grade IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) and silicon carbide (SiC) chips. Designed to alleviate supply chain shortages, it includes an 8-inch wafer production line.
The massive initiative serves as a cornerstone of BYD’s vertically integrated electric vehicle (EV) supply chain, supplying crucial high-power chips directly to their rapidly expanding NEV operations.
