Volkswagen

Biography
Andreas (IEEE SM / CRP) drove the semiconductor strategy & reliability assurance activities within the E/E development at Volkswagen, Germany, for many years, concentrating on technology capability enhancement of most advanced nodes incl. improved HW integration schemes as well as optimization of power electronics for automotive applications. He temporarily joint CARIAD SE between 2020 and 2022 as system architect and product security officer with focus on semiconductor and SW driven innovations. Wearing always one shoe from the semiconductor industry and the other one from the car OEM, he became a strong representative of the through-the-supply-chain-joint-development and collaboration approach also being rewarded with the EDA Achievement award 2020. He has 24 years of experience with and within the semiconductor industry, has authored/co-authored over 40 publications on reliability and has given tutorials at IEEE IRPS and IIRW as well as invited and keynote speeches during various conferences and conventions. His early collaboration activities began already in 2007 becoming the chair of the German VDE ITG group MN 5.6 on (f)WLR, reliability simulations and qualification. He is currently also chair of the European chapter of the SEMI Global Automotive Advisory Council (GAAC), member of the coordination team of the corresponding “European platform for automotive semiconductor requirements along the supply chain” hosted by the VDE ITG and member of the Bmbf industry advisory board on cyber security. Driving the disruptive automotive transformation process on a collaborative supply chain basis is one of his major passions.

Abstract
As we move into a more electrified and automated reality, the sustainability of functional safe and secure electronic systems is a major concern of automobile manufacturers. The complexity of high-performance systems is not possible without the application of the latest semiconductor technology nodes. Now more than ever, auto makers must dig even deeper into their supply chains to identify and eliminate the root causes of potential hazards, many of which are created during the manufacture of the semiconductors that build the systems upon which drivers rely. To truly address functional safety, it is essential that the automotive industry and semiconductor manufacturers work together to create frameworks that improve functional safety for all stakeholders by exploring and optimizing the intersection of contamination control, inspection, and test. Since SEMICON Europa 2018, Entegris has been spreading, with the support of SEMI and car makers, a New Collaborative Approach, a process to tackle defectivity with an improved contamination management strategy.With this presentation we want to share our progress. Is there any meaningful trend that is worth to report in terms of defectivity management? What have we learnt in terms of maturity of the ecosystems? Any correlation with the major technology inflection points? Where should semiconductor manufacturers focus their efforts?

Biography
Antoine Amade joined Entegris in 1995 as an application engineer in its semiconductor business. Today, he is the president of the Europe and the Middle East (EMEA) region as well as the VP of sales for the Microcontamination Control division focused primarily on growing the semiconductor business in North America and EMEA through market strategies and the management of sales.For more than 25 years, Mr. Amade has held leadership positions at Entegris in gas microcontamination market management, strategic account management, and regional sales management.Mr. Amade has a degree in Chemical Engineering from ENS Chimie Lille and is a member of the SEMI Electronic Materials Group, the Global Automotive Advisory Council for Europe (GAAC) and the Platform for Automotive Semiconductor Requirements Along the Supply Chain (PASRASC).

Abstract
Automotive industry is transitioning en-mass from level 2 to level 3 and higher of autonomous and assisted driving. This transition puts forth increased requirements for low light performance, high dynamic range (HDR), and image quality in general – all at affordable low cost. Additionally, wide proliferation of LED based traffic signs and lights created more challenges in capturing images and videos without LED flicker effects.Latest generation of newest automotive 2.1 µm CMOS image sensors from onsemi addressed these challenges with further development of unique super-exposure pixel architecture that delivered unmatched up to 150 dB HDR in image capture and true LED flicker mitigation. Super-exposure pixel innovations also resulted in much improved low light performance surpassing the performance of twice larger 3 µm sensors across automotive temperature range. Direct bench measurements of low light and high light signal-to-noise (SNR) metrics as well as images and videos captured confirmed these results. Additional benefits of the new sensors include enhanced sharpness, resolution, and high color fidelity of raw images that do not require any corrections, filtering, or altering. Therefore, these sensors are positioned well to serve both front and surround sensing and viewing applications using same camera settings.New 8.3 and 3 mega-pixel sensors and their image sharpness and resolution in combination with total SNRs in low light and in transitions are important considerations for high safety autonomous designs, especially in corner cases. Visually pleasing video quality for applications such as surround view, e-mirror, and augmented reality displays are of importance as well. Using object probability detection SNRI criteria we study use cases both for night and daylight scenarios, meeting objectives of level 3 and higher of autonomous driving.
