Focus: Combining the entrepreneurial & innovative
culture of Silicon Valley with a national network of
regional & technology nodes to commercialize FHE
technology through manufacturing advancements in
integrated printing & packaging, system design tools,
materials scale-up, thinned device processing, and
reliability testing & modeling.
NextFlex: America’s Flexible Hybrid Electronics Manufacturing Institute
Catalyzing a robust and innovative
manufacturing ecosystem at the intersection
of the electronics and high performance
printing industries.

Flexible Hybrid Electronics
technology is the key enabling
platform for wide-scale IOT device deployment
What Are All These IOT Devices?
• Machine to Machine
• Environmental
• Asset• Human
• IOT Moniker – Credited to Kevin Ashton in 1999• IPv4 (66.147.252.109) – 4.3 Bn• IPv6 (2600:1404:17:18b::19ff) - 3.4×1038
• 13.4 Bn connected devices in 2015• Gartner Estimates a 30% YoY Growth (to 6.4Bn)• 40 Bn connected devices predicted by 2020
(Cisco)
Why does all this matter?
Why? Our Time Domain World• When we have gone from manual operation in many process to
automation we have relied too heavily on the time domain…
IOT is about Efficiency• Significant waste can be eliminated by operating in a “need” domain
IOT Edge Requirements
• Robust ROI
• Product Lifecycle Considerations
• Unobtrusive Form Factor
Why FHE?
• Cheap
• Widely deployable
• Adaptable to novel form factors
• Single use possible (“aka” disposable)
Flexible, Stretchable, Conformable

Differentiating from Subtractive
Edge, Core, Fog and Cloud• Core: the cloud computing side
will suffer from latency, expensive
infrastructure and an absurd
number of startups that struggle to
articulate what their actual product
is
• Edge: challenges from accuracy,
security and interoperability
• Perishable observation window
Issues For Smarter Devices• Pin count, bond pitch
• Power consumption, thermal management
• Device value and reliability requirements
• Signal integrity for additive materials
How do we solve these challenges?
