SoP with silicon thicknesses less than 5um is physically flexible

AMERICAN SEMICONDUCTOR FleX-SOC physically flexible microcontroller system-on-chip with high-density flash nonvolatile memory. Firm has converted Cypress Semiconductor’s PSoC microcontroller (MCU) wafers into physically flexible Semiconductor-on-Polymer (SoP) with silicon thicknesses less than 5um. Device is a functioning version of the Cypress part attached to a flexible substrate that can contour to the body for wearable electronics applications. PSoC device integrates an MCU core, programmable analog circuitry and digital logic and Cypress’ CapSense capacitive touch-sensing technology, making it suitable for wearable electronics applications.
