Hua Hong Semiconductor, and Shanghai Quality Sensor Technology (QST) announced that they jointly launched the next-generation 3-axis gyroscope SoC QMG6982, the first-of-its-kind domestic one indigenously developed and manufactured in Shanghai.
The gyroscope sensor was developed independently by QST, which adopted Hua Hong Semiconductor's leading Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) manufacturing technology.
"Gyroscope is the most technologically demanding product among the motion sensors, and its application in smart devices is dominated by a few global brands," said Dr. Joseph Xie, President of QST Corporation,
"QMG6982 developed by our company represents an innovative breakthrough among the local MEMS designers, which caters to the customers' increasing demands for low-cost and high-performance MEMS sensors. The expanding strategic partnership between both companies has further enhanced their respective position on the MEMS industrial value chain, and the 'Created in China & Manufactured in China' proposition shared by both companies underlies their technical expertise and capital strength make them well positioned to become an emerging power in the global MEMS market."
"With proven R&D capabilities in driving innovation, Hua Hong Semiconductor has successfully achieved full compatibility between MEMS and standard CMOS from process development to mass production on 200mm manufacturing platform, by delivering wafer processing solutions for monolithic CMOS-MEMS devices, which help customers improve performance and competitiveness of their sensor products," said Dr. Fu Cheng, Executive Vice President of Hua Hong Semiconductor,
"Building on its industry-leading embedded flash memory, RF and ultralow leakage CMOS technologies, Hua Hong Semiconductor delivers embedded flash IPs featuring low power and compactness for different sensor applications, which help to reduce the system's power consumption and chip cost. Besides, these available platforms can offer more extensive applications and flexibility in MEMS designs."
