Semiconductor

Arti­cles for you who work in the semi­con­duc­tor indus­try. Here you’ll find every­thing from short news items to in-depth arti­cles on sci­ence and tech­nol­o­gy that push­es the bound­aries for Moore’s law and enables fur­ther miniaturization.

Miniaturized capacitors with carbon nanofibers

Smoltek has devel­oped the world’s thinnest dis­crete capac­i­tor. Its total build­ing height is less than thir­ty microm­e­ters (30 µm). You have to stack ten of them on top of each oth­er to reach the same height as today’s indus­try-stan­­dard when it comes to sur­­face-moun­t­ed capac­i­tors. The capac­i­tor itself, with­out encap­su­la­tion, is a mere 0.5 to 10 µm. It…

Breaking barriers: The future

This is the third and last arti­cle in a series of three in which Smoltek founder and strate­gic advi­sor Shafiq Kabir share his per­son­al thoughts on nan­otech­nol­o­gy oppor­tu­ni­ties. In the pre­vi­ous two arti­cles, he has addressed both the hype and the real­i­ty of car­bon nan­otech­nol­o­gy. In this last arti­cle, he looks into the future. He dis­cuss­es how car­bon nan­otech­nol­o­gy will unleash the pow­er of the inter­net of everything.

This is the sec­ond arti­cle in a series of three in which Smoltek founder and strate­gic advi­sor Shafiq Kabir share his per­son­al thoughts on nan­otech­nol­o­gy oppor­tu­ni­ties. In the last arti­cle, he addressed the hype sur­round­ing car­bon nan­otech­nol­o­gy. In this one, he takes you into the real­i­ty of the nan­otech­nol­o­gy entre­pre­neur. He tells you about real chal­lenges that await break­throughs that car­bon nan­otech­nol­o­gy can help with­in the near future.
