About this report
A British semiconductor venture is challenging the conventional silicon-chip industry with a novel approach that could reshape Europe’s technology landscape. Pragmatic Semiconductor, headquartered in Cambridge, has developed ultra-thin flexible integrated circuits (“FlexICs”) on plastic substrates.
These chips, thinner than a human hair and capable of bending, can be embedded almost anywhere – from product packaging to wearable sensors. By sidestepping traditional silicon foundries, Pragmatic enables local production of simple chips using metal-oxide thin-film transistors, drastically cutting the capital and energy required for manufacturing.
Key questions this report answers
- How do Pragmatic's ultra-thin flexible integrated circuits (FlexICs) on plastic use metal-oxide thin-film transistors?
- What is the maturity of this Cambridge firm's approach that sidesteps traditional silicon foundries?
- Which markets (packaging, wearable sensors) and partners support European supply-chain resilience?
- What capability gaps or dependencies affect scaling local flexible-chip production?
