About the Speaker
Dr. Paul Carey joined SEMI in April 2021 and is responsible for managing the MSIG PNT program, the MSIG webinars, and supporting the Manufacturing, Device and Reliability Workgroups and all MSIG related conferences and events. Before joining SEMI, he worked at X-Ray imaging backplane supplier and FOA member, dpiX, in various positions starting in 2003. He was the process, equipment, and yield manager in their Gen 2.5 Palo Alto glass Fab until 2012 when dpiX moved its production to a new Gen 4.5 Fab in Colorado Springs. He rejoined dpiX in 2014 and worked on the flexible substrate equipment selection team and later became their first business development manager in 2018 when dpiX announced its Foundry Business.
Earlier positions were held at Applied Materials where he helped develop a laser annealing system for semiconductor shallow junctions and silicides, and start-up company FlexICs, where he was a co-founder and VP of Engineering. FlexICs developed low temperature thin film transistor (TFT) fabrication technology relevant to flexible OLED displays now used in cellphones. Prior to founding FlexICs, he worked as a staff scientist and program leader at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory where his group initially developed the low temperature polysilicon-on-plastic TFT technology.
Dr. Carey received a double major BS from UC Berkeley in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and Materials Science and Engineering (MSE). He received his MS in EECS from UC Berkeley and Ph.D. in MSE from Stanford University.

Current electromechanical design practice is predicated on the exercise of expert-level judgement through an interactive and iterative design and fabrication process that requires skilled humans at every step. This approach doesn't scale because it is labor intensive, and therefore biases robots toward longer-lasting, more general-purpose (and expensive) designs in order to justify the development and fabrication costs. Though appropriate in some cases, not all applications are well-served by this process. Many robot applications might be better-served by rapidly-built special-purpose or single-use machines, but automated design and fabrication tools will be critical to control costs, accelerate development, and be responsive to application needs.
The overall goal is to make electromechanical systems (robots) so easy to design and fabricate that we could enable people who are application experts (but not necessarily robot design or fabrication experts) to rapidly create robots for their specific needs. Although Roboticists claim that robots are for dull, dirty, and dangerous use-cases, the community predominantly uses them for the first case, because robots are currently expensive and slow to build, which makes them precious. If we change this situation by making robots practically disposable/expendable, we could potentially re-imagine many robot use-cases.
With this future in mind, new design tools to convert high-level requirements specified by non-experts into concrete electromechanical design plans, new materials that leverage multi-material additive manufacturing, and new multi-material 3D printing methods to automatically convert these designs into functional robots are being developed. During this course we will describe these various areas of current study as well as possible applications for 3D printed robotics.

He holds a B.A. in Physics from Ithaca College, a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Cornell University, and an M.S. and PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University.
Dr Gregory Whiting is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and a member of the Materials Science and Engineering Program at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU). At CU he leads the Boulder Experimental Electronics and Manufacturing (BEEM) Laboratory, which is focused on studying and developing materials, processes and devices for novel and additively manufactured electronic systems used in applications including distributed sensing (particularly for environmental monitoring) and robotics. Prior to joining CU in 2017, Greg was a member of the Rapid Evaluation Team at Google[X] and managed the Novel Electronics Area at the Palo Alto Research Center. He received a PhD from Cambridge University in 2007 and a BS from UC Berkeley in 2002.
Fabricating robots using additive design and manufacturing methods has the potential to transform when, where and how the advantages of robots are brought to bear.
Take this FlexTech Master Class to explore the potential applications and how to use new design tools, 3D printing methods and multi-material additive manufacturing to convert ideas into solid electromechanical robotic systems.
Led by Dr. Robert MacCurdy and Prof. Greg Whiting of the University of Colorado, Boulder, this course will provide you new ways to approach manufacturing, additive design and the role of robots.

Printed, flexible and hybrid electronics (PFHE) enable emerging applications in IoT, medical sensing, smart packaging and labels, structural monitoring, human wellness and performance, monitors, extreme environment, and display applications. At the same time, PFHE approaches can also provide faster product development, prototyping, and manufacturing cycles for single, custom items to large areas, low-cost mass manufacturing scales in additive, more sustainable pathways for electronics as they become even more ubiquitous in our world.
This class covers the basics of PFHE processing technologies, from dispensing and inkjet printing to roll to roll printing and coating, along with the materials and supplementary thermal processes that enable these processes.
Next-generation technologies are also explored for high-resolution PFHE and additive manufacturing that could provide new form factors and manufacturing approaches and exceed the performance of conventionally-processed electronics. These technologies also have impact on unmet heterogeneous integration possibilities in fields ranging from electronics to optics and quantum materials.
Example PFHE and printed energy materials topics:
Dispensing and 3D printing of electronic and energy materials
Aerosol printing
High resolution inkjet printing and coating
Screen Printing
Flexographic Printing
Gravure printing
Slot die coating
Convective, IR and photonic thermal processing
Microcontact printing and embossing
Submicron electrohydrodynamic printing

SiC—Silicon Carbide Material Properties, Key Applications, and Fabrication Basics: Making the Transition from Silicon
Silicon (Si) power devices have dominated power electronics due to their excellent starting material quality, ease of fabrication, low cost volume production, and proven reliability. Although Si power devices continue to make progress, they are approaching their operational limits primarily due to their relatively low bandgap and critical electric field that result in high conduction and switching losses, and poor high temperature performance.
In this webinar, the favorable material properties of Silicon Carbide (SiC), which allow for highly efficient power devices with reduced form-factor and cooling requirements, will be outlined. High impact application opportunities, where SiC devices are displacing their incumbent Si counterparts, will be reported. Material and device fabrication aspects will be highlighted with an emphasis on the processes that do not carry over from the mature Si manufacturing world and are thus specific to SiC. Fab models will be analyzed, and the vibrant U.S. SiC manufacturing infrastructure (that mirrors that of Si) will be presented.
