Custom NFC: fast, flexible innovation

Innovation should be agile. But innovating on silicon takes time. And money. And a big carbon budget. That’s why we’re doing semiconductors differently.

As an alternative to silicon, we use thin-film technology. That makes our chips, flexible integrated circuits (FlexICs), ultra-thin – no lumps or bumps – and physically flexible, so they can go where silicon simply can’t. Even on curved or irregular surfaces.

It also makes NFC innovation more agile, slashing upfront development costs along with carbon emissions – and taking your designs from tape-out to delivery in just weeks.

Design your NFC, your way – quickly and easily. Combine the flexible intelligence of our NFC Connect product with sense and compute capabilities to detect, track and protect at scale.

Whatever your application, FlexICs deliver rapid innovation so you can deliver smarter, more secure, and more responsive products, fast.

Endless possibilities

Cold-chain monitoring

Safeguard the integrity of temperature-sensitive goods, ensuring that thermal standards are maintained during transportation.

Tamper protection

Identify interference with discreet protection that won’t disrupt branding and can’t be covered or replaced. A unique ID prevents duplication or tampering.

Food freshness

Detect changes in state that impact quality and freshness, allowing for pre-emptive action to prevent food waste.

Smart farming

Track temperature, humidity and light in real-time, alerting to conditions outside of the optimal range.

Health monitoring

Enable ultra-thin, lightweight, low-cost smart devices ideal for continuous tracking of vital signs or patient status with customisable sensing capabilities.
