Paul Carey

Director MSIG

SEMI

Paul Carey joined SEMI in April this year as the Director of the MEMS and Sensors Industry Group
(MSIG).  He has over 20 years of experience in semiconductor device, process, and equipment
optimization while working at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Applied Materials, and
dpiX.  He was a co-founder of his own semiconductor start-up company, FlexICs, out of LLNL. FlexICs’s
business plan proposed to make flexible active-matrix OLED backplanes for cellphone displays. Although
FlexICs failed, very similar technology is used in the flexible cellphone displays first commercialized by
Samsung. 
 
He obtained his B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from UC Berkeley, and his Ph.D. in
Materials Science and Engineering from Stanford University.
