Qingchun was founded in March 2021, and the core team members have been involved in SiC semiconductor technology for over 20 years, according to NIO Capital.
據蔚來資本稱，慶春成立於2021年3月，核心團隊成員參與碳化硅半導體技術已有20多年。
NIO Capital has invested in a local Chinese silicon carbide (SiC) chip maker as it continues to expand its investments in the new energy vehicle (NEV) industry chain.
NIO Capital已投資了一家中國本土的碳化硅（SiC）芯片製造商，以繼續擴大對新能源汽車（NEV）產業鏈的投資。
The company recently co-led a several hundred million yuan Series A+ round of financing for Qingchun Semiconductor (or SICHAIN), which will be used to improve the SiC chip maker's supply chain layout, expand its team and build mass production labs, according to a press release today.
根據今天的新聞稿，該公司最近共同牽頭了慶春半導體（或SICHAIN）的數億元人民幣的A+輪融資，這將用於改善這家碳化硅芯片製造商的供應鏈佈局，擴大其團隊並建立批量生產實驗室。
Founded in March 2021, Qingchun's core team members have been involved in SiC semiconductor technology for more than 20 years and are one of the few companies in China currently capable of achieving world-class performance and reliability of SiC devices, according to NIO Capital.
據蔚來資本稱，青春成立於2021年3月，其核心團隊成員從事碳化硅半導體技術已有20多年，是目前中國爲數不多的能夠實現碳化硅器件世界一流性能和可靠性的公司之一。
The SiC chip maker is also one of the companies able to mass produce automotive SiC MOSFETs based on its production line in China, and its products have been used in new energy power generation and NEVs, according to the release.
新聞稿稱，這家碳化硅芯片製造商也是能夠根據其在中國的生產線批量生產汽車碳化硅MOSFET的公司之一，其產品已用於新能源發電和新能源汽車。
Since its inception, Qingchun has made a series of significant advances in SiC device technology and product development, including the maturation of its 1200V SiC MOSFET platform technology and the mass production of multiple products.
自成立以來，慶春在碳化硅器件技術和產品開發方面取得了一系列重大進展，包括其1200V SiC MOSFET平臺技術的成熟以及多種產品的批量生產。
The company launched the first 15V drive SiC MOSFET to be mass-produced in China, shipping nearly one million units to various industries, particularly photovoltaics and energy storage, according to the release.
新聞稿稱，該公司推出了首款在中國量產的15V驅動碳化硅MOSFET，向各個行業，尤其是光伏和儲能行業出貨了近一百萬臺。
Qingchun also launched the 1200V 14mΩ SiC MOSFET, which has the lowest on-resistance and is currently being validated by several vehicle companies, according to NIO Capital.
據蔚來資本稱，慶春還推出了1200V 14mΩ SiC MOSFET，該產品具有最低的導通電阻，目前正在接受多家汽車公司的驗證。
The SiC market is spacious and growing fast, with a wide range of application scenarios in areas such as NEVs, and Qingchun is one of the best startups in China for that, said Ian Zhu, managing partner of NIO Capital.
蔚來資本管理合夥人伊恩·朱表示，碳化硅市場寬敞且發展迅速，在新能源汽車等領域有廣泛的應用場景，而慶春是中國最好的初創公司之一。
Earlier today, Geely's electric vehicle brand Zeekr announced a long-term supply agreement with US chip maker Onsemi involving silicon carbide power devices.
今天早些時候，吉利的電動汽車品牌Zeekr宣佈了與美國芯片製造商Onsemi的長期供應協議，涉及碳化硅功率器件。
Zeekr will use Onsemi's M3E 1200V EliteSiC MOSFET products to complement its expanding lineup of high-performance all-electric models, according to a press release.
一份新聞稿稱，Zeekr將使用Onsemi的M3E 1200V EliteSiC MOSFET產品來補充其不斷擴大的高性能全電動車型陣容。
The SiC module is an upgrade to the IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor chip) module, a third-generation power semiconductor with higher efficiency, higher temperature resistance and higher voltage characteristics.
碳化硅模塊是IGBT（絕緣柵雙極晶體管芯片）模塊的升級，IGBT 是第三代功率半導體，具有更高的效率、更高的耐溫性和更高的電壓特性。
The module will help upgrade the electrical architecture of NEVs from 400V to 800V and enable NEVs to charge from 0 to 80 percent in 10 minutes.
該模塊將幫助將新能源汽車的電氣架構從400V升級到800V，並使新能源汽車能夠在10分鐘內從0％充電到80％。
