The mission of the Platform for Automotive Semiconductor Requirements along the Supply Chain is to connect, to collaborate and to align the whole electronics supply chain (vehicle-OEM, Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier n) including the semiconductor manufacturing supply chain (equipment and materials suppliers, device manufactures, design companies, system integrators) on non-competitive issues and related activities that are of mutual interest and benefit to all stakeholders, in an effort to leverage synergies by creating regional forums where such issues can be discussed and addressed collectively and transparently towards standardization bodies. Especially issues related towards the transparency and gap closure regarding existing but not sufficiently specified capability limitations for semiconductor usage and integration (introduction of appropriate new automotive classes, associated standardized reference mission profiles and qualification criteria) are in focus. Thus, supply chain alignment for (improved) technology road mapping (performance needed) and requirement consolidation with non-automotive industry sectors to enhance harsh environmental & automotive features implementation is targeted.
