从头开始构建汽车内存

A =汽车思维

微米’s mindset encompasses the whole product journey — from design, 为客户提供制造和测试支持.

根据 斯坦福大学心理学家Carol Dweck说, “Your mindset is a set of beliefs that shape how you make sense of the world and yourself. It influences how you think, feel, and behave in any given situation.”

如果你看看美光的汽车业务, you can see the automotive mindset we started over 31 years ago. In that time, we’ve gone from tens of kilobytes of data hardware per vehicle to terabytes! That means our obsessive quality mindset is more important than ever for engineering the rugged memory and storage devices that our customers rely on.

我们的流程建立在这一理念之上, resulting in a zero-defect aspirational mindset and quality-management systems that support automotive memory and storage requirements. 的 最近宣布 of 微米’s certified ASIL D-compliant LPDDR5 is another example of our automotive mindset, illustrating the company’s recognition of essential trends and requirements in the auto market and making essential investments to support new safety requirements.

设计

内存 design begins with a comprehensive suite of specifications that have been established through close collaboration with our automotive customers and partners. 的se specifications serve as the foundation for both memory and storage capabilities and performance. 规格包括诸如热剖面之类的属性, cross-temperature操作, 工作负载, 保持力和耐力. 的 specifications are established not only to support the general auto environment, but also to address very specific application areas within the vehicle. 在支持功能安全的情况下, 微米 architects worked closely with the safety offices of many of the industry-leading OEMs, 一级供应商, and chip set vendors to understand the overall system needs for both advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and in-vehicle entertainment (IVE) 应用程序 as they pertained to safety at the system level.

制造业

在制造阶段, 微米 has made extensive investments to ensure that the company develops and delivers products that are based on leading-edge processes. 通过这些投资,美光已经被证明是第一个 1α (1- α) 现在 1β(1测试版) 从DRAM到176层和现在的232层NAND 用于存储. 的se investments are essential in delivering the industry’s best-in-class power and performance. 另外, 微米 has invested in a dedicated fab to ensure that we can provide the product longevity required by the automotive market. 定义, development and manufacturing processes have been tuned to align with the ISO 26262 standard for ASIL D that 微米 has adopted and supports.

测试

微米 has industry-leading quality due to our best-in-class testing methodologies. 微米 has been able to increase both yield and quality by analyzing a billion control points collected from half a million sensors and millions of images in real time across our front-end and assembly/test operations. 通过人工智能(AI)的广泛应用, 美光可以迅速发现趋势并采取行动, leading to much greater yield and achieving that yield faster than in the past. 作为测试策略和方法的一部分, processes identified by the ISO 26262 specification have been incorporated into the test flow, 确保符合汽车标准, 专门针对功能安全.

客户支持

美光有13个 专用汽车实验室 连接全球, with a consistent testing footprint allowing for near 24/7 support to help bring a product to market. 的se labs seek to collaborate during the design phase to ensure the fastest time to market with the lowest risk. 客户支持 extends beyond lab support alone: Our dedicated safety office, system architects and field application engineers are also committed to working closely with customers to help architect their system to best realize functional safety ASIL targets at the system level.

正如Carol Dweck所定义的“心态”,” we can see that 微米’s automotive mindset has shaped how we design, 制造, 测试和支持汽车存储器. It has enabled 微米’s leadership and will continue to drive our next generation of automotive memory and storage solutions.
