Semprius, Inc. has announced that Applied Ventures, has made a strategic investment in Semprius. The investment will be used for the development of a novel transfer printing technology for the manufacture of advanced semiconductor devices.Semprius is developing patented technology for the transfer printing of high-performance semiconductors onto virtually any hard surface, including glass, flexible or rigid plastic, metal or other semiconductors. Semprius' technology will provide the ability to create novel devices and systems by liberating the semiconductor from its traditional rigid substrate. Very tiny circuits can be efficiently and cost effectively transferred by the hundreds, and even thousands, at a time in the printing process."We are delighted to have Applied Ventures as an investor," said Joe Carr, CEO of Semprius. "Because we are developing capabilities suitable to a wide range of applications, relationships with companies such as Applied Materials are key to our development and business strategy.""Semprius' printing technology is in line with Applied Venture's investment strategy to stimulate the growth of applications for semiconductors, displays and other product areas," said J. Christopher Moran, Vice President and General Manager of Applied Ventures. "We believe Semprius has technology that can offer significant performance and cost advantages for many advanced electronic applications."
