Tlhokahalo ea li-chips tsena, kapa semiconductors, e eketsehile nakong ea seoa sa coronavirus ha batho ba ntse ba hula lipapali tsa lipapali, lilaptop le li-TV ho thusa ho feta. Hona joale, tse ngata tsa lihlahisoa tsena - ho kenyeletsoa lilaptop tse ling tsa Chromebook le likhakanyo tse latelang tsa moloko o kang Xbox Series X le PlayStation 5 - li rekisitsoe, kapa li na le linako tse telele tsa ho tsamaisa thepa.

Ke e 'ngoe ea lintlha tse' maloa tse entseng hore ho hlokahale li-semiconductors, empa ha phepelo e ntse e loanela ho tsoela pele, ke indasteri ea makoloi e ts'epahallang e bileng thata haholo.

"Re bone nakong e khuts'oane, indasteri ea makoloi e amehile hampe haholo," Bryce Johnstone, molaoli oa thekiso ea karolo ea likoloi ho chip designer Imagination Technologies, o bolelletse CNBC ka lengolo tsoibila. "Sena se bakoa ke mekhoa ea bona ea tlhahiso ea nako le litšebeletso tsa bona tse rarahaneng haholo tsa phepelo."

Li-Carmaker li sebelisa li-semiconductors nthong e ngoe le e ngoe ho tloha ho li-steering power le li-sensors tsa brake, ho li-system tsa boithabiso le camera tsa ho paka makoloi. Likoloi tse bohlale li ba teng, ke moo ba sebelisang li-chip tse ngata.

"Haeba chip e matlafatsang ho daela ka koloing kapa braking e iketsang e lieha, le koloi e setseng e tla ba joalo," ho boletse Johnstone.

Koloi e koetsoeng e hlasela
senatla sa makoloi sa US General Motors e phatlalalitse Laboraro la beke e fetileng hore e koala limela tse tharo mme e liehisa tlhahiso ho ea bone ka lebaka la khaello ea semiconductor. Moetsi oa likoloi oa Detroit o re a ka hloloheloa sepheo sa hae sa 2021 ka lebaka leo.

"Leha ho na le boiteko ba rona ba ho fokotsa mathata, khaello ea semiconductor e tla ama tlhahiso ea GM ho 2021," 'muelli oa k'hamphani o boletse polelong.

"Ba fana ka semiconductor bakeng sa indasteri ea likoloi ea lefats'e ka bophara e ntse e le metsi haholo," ba eketsa. "Mokhatlo oa rona oa phepelo ea lihlahisoa o sebetsa haufi le setsi sa rona sa phepelo ho fumana tharollo bakeng sa litlhoko tsa ba fanang ka thepa ea semiconductor le ho fokotsa litlamorao ho GM."
