Patents

Smoltek uses a glob­al patent strat­e­gy to pro­tect our tech­nol­o­gy plat­form in all impor­tant mar­kets. This includes core patents as well as patent pro­tec­tion at appli­ca­tion lev­el. At present, we have a patent port­fo­lio that com­pris­es about 110 applied and pend­ing patents, dis­trib­uted among 20 patent fam­i­lies, of which 77 are granted. 

The strate­gic and con­tin­u­ous devel­op­ment of our patent port­fo­lio is dri­ven by the need for dis­rup­tive mate­ri­als and tech­ni­cal solu­tions that enables indus­tri­al­ly com­pat­i­ble fab­ri­ca­tion of nanos­truc­tures for var­i­ous appli­ca­tions, like ultra-thin capac­i­tors and new high-per­for­mance cell mate­r­i­al for electrolyzers. 

Our inno­v­a­tive tech­nol­o­gy plat­form is pro­tect­ed with an IP-port­fo­lio of +110 patents grant­ed and pend­ing, as well as a sig­nif­i­cant body of know-how and trade secrets.

Interposer

Interposer

The Inter­pos­er fam­i­ly is cov­er­ing Smoltek’s CNF-MIM capac­i­tors tech­nol­o­gy and var­i­ous use cas­es for the same, pri­mar­i­ly in the field of inter­posers for advanced pack­ag­ing and het­eroge­nous inte­gra­tion of semiconductors. 

Helplayer

Helplayer

The Helplay­er fam­i­ly is cov­er­ing a method to pro­tect the under­lay­ing sub­strate or mate­ri­als from being dam­aged dur­ing the nanos­truc­ture growth process.
