Presentation Summary

  • ULSI silicon is by far the least expensive source of small circuits for ubiquitous electronics, including RFID, wireless sensors, etc.
  • Only silicon can provide the performance and security required by most applications
  • The required breakthrough in handling and packaging of ultrasmall and thin chips is enabled by Terepac's transfer printing technology
