Smoltek patent No. 64 now granted

Smoltek’s 64th pat­ent has been gran­ted in Taiwan and relates to the Inter­poser fam­ily, and the claim cov­er con­cepts of mini­atur­ized com­pact energy stor­age devices, e.g. capacitors.

This inven­tion facil­it­ates integ­ra­tion of extremely thin sol­id-state devices, such as CNF-MIM capa­cit­ors. The main advant­age is that the energy stor­ing devices can be placed closer to the inter­con­nec­tion points and power rails of the act­ive chip, thus enabling more effi­cient power man­age­ment solu­tions for the whole circuit.

“The tim­ing of this grant could not be bet­ter since the CNF-MIM concept receiv­ing sig­ni­fic­ant atten­tion from the industry play­ers. I view this grant as an import­ant mile­stone to achieve, help­ing us to solid­i­fy our IP foot­print around the world, spe­cially in Taiwan, the largest semi­con­duct­or hub”, says Dr Shafiq Kabir, Founder and Chief Innov­a­tion Officer at Smoltek.

Our Inter­poser pat­ent fam­ily pro­tects the field of com­pact energy stor­age devices based on our CNF-MIM capa­cit­or concept. The claims in the Inter­poser fam­ily cov­er device struc­tures which may be on a sub­strate of choice, or on an inter­poser, or con­nec­ted to an integ­rated cir­cuit. One aspect also cov­ers the applic­a­tion of capa­cit­or devices where it is con­nec­ted to an integ­rated cir­cuit and/​or a bat­tery like energy source.

Smoltek’s pat­ent port­fo­lio now glob­ally com­prises 64 gran­ted pat­ents. Read more about our IP and patents.
