务实对sec提出了80美元ond plastic chip fab
PragmatIC Semiconductor manufactures circuits on polyimide substrates allowing flexible and low-cost ICs to be embedded in everyday objects. The funding will be used to expand the company’s manufacturing facility at Sedgefield in North-East England and allow it to offer its manufacturing technology as a foundry service.
Investors include Cambridge Innovation Capital, label maker Avery Dennison and processor IP developer ARM. PragmatIC worked with ARM on the first fully plastic version of a Cortex M0+ microcontroller and 6502 processor. The design and production process is much shorter for the plastic devices, says the company, allowing different versions of a chip to be developed in a few weeks rather than six months for a silicon process.

“我们的Flexlogic-002 Fab的容量将比我们的第一行高得多，同时仍保持我们的签名超低资本支出，快速生产周期时间和最少的碳足迹，” Pragmatic Semiconductor的首席执行官Scott White说。“除了支持我们持续的商业坡道外，它还提供了一个模板，用于推出分布式的全球弹性系统网络，提供用于主要客户网站上专用生产的Fab-As-As-A-Service（FAAS），以启用有效且安全的半导体。供应链。”
Erik Langaker, chairman, said: “This capital raise is a fantastic recognition of the achievements of Scott White, Richard Price and their team. The round has been subscribed by a highly qualified select group of industrial and individual investors with significant experience in the semiconductor industry. Their backing will enable the team to more than double in size over the next 12 months and expand capacity to fulfil the rapidly growing demand for electronics in everyday objects.”
ARM ARM首席技术官Dipesh Patel表示：“数十亿个日常物品可以从成为物联网的一部分中受益，但是要继续可持续扩展，我们需要探索将情报嵌入日常物品的新方法。”
