Industrial Standard in Thermal and Voltage Stability in CNF-MIM Capacitor Technology

Smoltek Semi has cleared a sig­nif­i­cant mile­stone in the devel­op­ment of next-gen­er­a­tion CNF-MIM capac­i­tors. Sam­ples from the lat­est pro­to­type gen­er­a­tion, fab­ri­cat­ed with an advanced dielec­tric stack com­posed of zir­co­ni­um oxide (ZrO₂) and alu­minum oxide (Al₂O₃) have demon­strat­ed excep­tion­al sta­bil­i­ty under both tem­per­a­ture and volt­age stress.

Capacitors’ capacity for minimizing CO₂ footprint – a small story

Capacitors’ capacity for minimizing CO₂ footprint – a small story

In an age where envi­ron­men­tal sus­tain­abil­i­ty is of utter impor­tance, it is cru­cial to find inno­v­a­tive solu­tions to reduce ener­gy con­sump­tion and min­i­mize our car­bon foot­print. One such solu­tion is found in capac­i­tors. These unas­sum­ing elec­tron­ic com­po­nents not only play an impor­tant role in var­i­ous sys­tems, but also offer sig­nif­i­cant envi­ron­men­tal ben­e­fits. Albeit very small – if count­ed one by one.

247th ECS Meeting (past event)

Smoltek Hydro­gen is attend­ing the 247th ECS Meet­ing in Mon­tréal, Cana­da. The event brings togeth­er the most active researchers in acad­e­mia, gov­ern­ment, and indus­try to engage, dis­cuss, and inno­vate in the areas of elec­tro­chem­istry and sol­id state sci­ence and relat­ed technologies.

The last crusade for 0.1 mg iridium

In the race to make green hydro­gen eco­nom­i­cal­ly viable, researchers world­wide are pur­su­ing the seem­ing­ly impos­si­ble: reduc­ing irid­i­um use in PEM elec­trolyz­ers by 95%. As Smoltek gets clos­er to this holy grail of 0.1 mg/​cm², we exam­ine how oth­er tech­nolo­gies mea­sure up.

Unlocking the green hydrogen economy

Unlocking the green hydrogen economy

When experts talk about the ener­gy sys­tems of the future, they often come back to one spe­cif­ic num­ber: 0.1 mil­ligrams per square cen­time­ter (0.1 mg/​cm²). This seem­ing­ly insignif­i­cant num­ber could be crit­i­cal to mov­ing green hydro­gen from a promis­ing con­cept to an eco­nom­ic reality.

Deep Trench Capacitors (DTC) is a dead end – CNF-MIM is the way forward

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.
