HRH Princess Anne opened Pragmatic Semiconductor’s semiconductor factory – the UK’s first 300mm semiconductor fabrication line – at Pragmatic Park in Durham. The Cambridge Science Park-headquartered company is revolutionising semiconductor fabrication with ultra-low-cost, flexible integrated circuit (FlexIC) technology that makes it quick and easy to embed intelligence almost anywhere. FlexICs are thinner than a human hair and, invisibly embedded in objects, enable novel solutions simply not possible with standard electronics. Application of these smart sensing solutions spans a vast range of …
