Deep Trench Capacitors (DTC) is a dead end – CNF-MIM is the way forward
Modern electronics demand increasingly compact and powerful capacitors, and the race for miniaturization has reached a critical juncture. While both Deep Trench Capacitors (DTC) and Carbon Nanofiber Metal-Insulator-Metal (CNF-MIM) capacitors are being developed for advanced applications requiring smaller size and higher capacitance density than conventional surface-mounted capacitors, DTC pushes the boundaries of what’s achievable with subtractive manufacturing, but is hitting fundamental physical limits. In contrast, Smoltek’s innovative CNF-MIM technology offers a revolutionary path forward, unrestricted by these constraints.
