Company profile
Pragmatic Semiconductor
County Durham manufacturer producing ultra-thin flexible integrated circuits on its own fabrication lines, aimed at high-volume low-cost identification and sensing uses.
Company overview
Pragmatic Semiconductor makes flexible integrated circuits (FlexICs): ultra-thin chips built with thin-film transistors on a flexible substrate rather than on silicon wafers. Short fabrication cycles and low cost per chip make them suited to item-level electronics such as NFC and RFID tags, sensing and simple compute embedded in packaging and everyday objects. It operates its own fabrication lines in County Durham, offers a foundry service for customer designs, and is developing a high-density FlexIC interconnect platform for compact systems.
