New Smoltek patent granted

The company’s third gran­ted pat­ent in 2020 is a European (EPO) pat­ent. It is an inven­tion that relates to how to grow nano­struc­tures on sub­strate without des­troy­ing the under­ly­ing mater­i­als for example CMOS cir­cuit ele­ments, sensors etc., which may be sens­it­ive to such a growth process. 

The pat­ent cov­ers an essen­tial aspect of meth­od of pro­du­cing nano­struc­tures on a sub­strate where the sur­face con­sti­tutes both con­du­cing and non-con­duct­ing struc­tures and devices out of the same.“This new pat­ent cov­ers essen­tial aspects of a pro­duc­tion meth­od that enables growth of nano­struc­tures on any giv­en sur­face includ­ing pres­ence of sens­it­ive cir­cuit ele­ments under­neath. The beauty of the tech­no­logy lies in its sim­pli­city. It is easy to imple­ment in, and com­pat­ible with volume pro­duc­tion set-ups. The new pat­ent adds to our growth-related part of our pat­ent port­fo­lio, and provides addi­tion­al pro­tec­tion of our key tech­no­logy.”, says Shafiq Kabir, CIO at Smoltek.
