1 FlexLogIC Manufacturing innovation by PragmatIC Introductory presentation The FlexLogIC programme has received funding from the European Union s Horizon 2020 SME Instrument (grant agreement numbers and ) PragmatIC Printing Ltd 1

2 PragmatIC: beyond silicon Flexible Integrated Circuits (flexics) ² Thinner than a human hair ² Flexible and conformable ² Sub-cent electronic solutions Enables trillions of smart objects ² $10bn+ market opportunity ² Not addressable by conventional silicon ICs Unique technology platform ² Proven cost-effective pilot-scale production ² Game-changing model for volume scale-up Leading global customers & partners ² Internet of Things, RFID, consumer goods, gaming, security PragmatIC Printing Ltd 2

3 The evolution of electronics VOLUME ~300 million p.a. ~50 billion p.a. >1 trillion p.a. COST ~$100 per IC ~$1-10 per IC <1-10 per IC PragmatIC Printing Ltd 3

4 Electronics for a flexible world Improve form factor & cost for existing applications ² RF Identification (RFID) ² Near Field Comms (NFC) ² Internet of Things (IoT) + Enable completely new product concepts ² Brand promotion labels ² Functional packaging ² Interactive card games ² Novel security features etc. PragmatIC Printing Ltd 4

5 Electronics for a flexible world The benefits of Moore s Law but for everyday objects! ² Progressively smaller features ² Increased performance ² Increased density ² Compact IC footprint ² Overall low cost per transistor ² But only if you need lots of transistors! ² Flexible low cost substrate ² Flexible low cost active materials ² Simpler fabrication equipment ² Simpler fabrication processes ² Overall low cost per unit area ² Simple, low cost integration into a wide variety of form factors PragmatIC s core intellectual property ² 21 patent families comprising over 80 individual patents ² Low cost replication of micro- and nano-scale electronic features ² Novel device architectures and processes to ensure feature alignment PragmatIC Printing Ltd 5

6 Scaling for growth Current: pilot production ² Leveraging ~ 60Mn capital investment at National Centre for Printable Electronics ² Cleanroom environment ² Off-the-shelf equipment ² Manual batch production ² Capacity ~10Mn flexics p.a. Future: FlexLogIC ² Self-contained fab-in-box ² Fully integrated modular equipment ² Fully automated production ² Capex x less than Si fab ² Bn+ flexics p.a. per modular line ² Less than 1 per flexic CPI s Na)onal Centre for Printable Electronics (Sedgefield) PragmatIC Printing Ltd 6

7 FlexLogIC fab-in-a-box Fully integrated flexic production line ² Automated materials handling and process control ² Self-contained clean environment Enables rapid expansion of flexic manufacturing ² No detailed technical expertise or facilities required ² Capacity for billions of flexics per annum ² Modular scalability Compelling financial case ² Capex x less than Si fab ² Payback period 1-2 years PragmatIC Printing Ltd 7

8 FlexLogIC production costs vs Silicon 10000% Fully loaded production cost (relative) 1000% 100% 10% >95% cost advantage Lower cost for up to 100k gates Silicon (old gen) Silicon (new gen) FlexLogIC 1% ,000 10, ,000 1,000,000 10,000,000 IC complexity (number of logic gates) NB: analysis assumes footprint is limited by complexity not I/O pads (more pads would increase inflection & crossover point) PragmatIC Printing Ltd 8

9 FlexLogIC status & roadmap VDL Enabling Technologies Group selected as lead partner ² Automation, systems integration and overall project delivery Suppliers/partners under evaluation for key process modules ² Material deposition and high resolution patterning Phased implementation plan defined ² Target installation of initial system in 2 nd half 2017 ² Ongoing optimisation alongside PragmatIC s flexic technology roadmap ² Expect deployment to scale to 100s of systems p.a. within 10 years Design Development Realisation Optimisation PragmatIC Printing Ltd 9
