Dr. Farzan Ghavanini, CTO of Smoltek has been on a week-long business trip to Taiwan to visit some of our collaboration partners for CNF-MIM capacitors, among those ALD-company Skytech.
AtomÂic LayÂer DepoÂsiÂtion (ALD) is a key proÂcessÂing step in conÂvertÂing the excepÂtionÂal surÂface to volÂume ratio offered by carÂbon nanofibers to a high capacÂiÂtance denÂsiÂty CNF-MIM capacitor.
Skytech proÂduces some of the best-in-class ALD tools that offer extreme uniÂforÂmiÂty and film qualÂiÂty over 3D strucÂtures. These qualÂiÂties are vital for Smoltek’s CNF-MIM techÂnolÂoÂgy where high aspect ratio nanofibers must be conÂforÂmalÂly coatÂed with a thin dielecÂtric film.

DurÂing the busiÂness trip to TaiÂwan, Dr. Farzan GhaÂvaniÂni sat with Skytech CEO, George Yi, to disÂcuss future colÂlabÂoÂraÂtions and how to inteÂgrate Skytech’s ALD clusÂter tools in CNF-MIM capacÂiÂtor fabÂriÂcaÂtion process flow.
About Skytech
Skytech is a TaiÂwanese comÂpaÂny, based in Hsinchu, that proÂduces state-of-the-art ALD tools, offerÂing excepÂtionÂal film uniÂforÂmiÂty, thickÂness conÂtrol, and mateÂrÂiÂal properties.
