In the upcoming eight - year period, the global market scale for automotive - grade AI chips is anticipated to soar from USD 10 billion to USD 60 billion. Taiwan's iCatch has capitalized on this promising opportunity. By utilizing Synopsys' tools and intellectual property (IP), it has embraced a 'shift - left' strategy. This approach aims to streamline development cycles and swiftly roll out the ThetaEye AI solution. In parallel, the company is making significant progress on its 6nm vision System - on - a - Chip (SoC) project, with the intention of completing tape - out in early 2026. (Here, “tape - out” is a common term in the semiconductor industry, referring to the final step of sending the design of an integrated circuit to the fabrication facility for manufacturing. Using this term makes the article more in line with industry English habits.)
