Qi Li and ChinJung Kuo of Smoltek Semi have met with Skytech management in Taiwan for planning of testing dummy runs for ALD deposition of Smoltek's CNF-MIM capacitors.
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 capacÂiÂtor. And Skytech is a globÂal provider of state-of-the-art ALD tools, offerÂing excepÂtionÂal film uniÂforÂmiÂty, thickÂness conÂtrol, and mateÂrÂiÂal propÂerÂties that are vital for Smoltek’s CNF-MIM technology.
TogethÂer with Skytech, Smoltek Semi is now for planÂning of testÂing dumÂmy runs for ALD depoÂsiÂtion of Smoltek’s CNF-MIM capacÂiÂtors. These tests are very imporÂtant to run to optiÂmize the AtomÂic LayÂer DepoÂsiÂtion (ALD) method as well as pre- and post-treatÂments of Smoltek’s carÂbon nanofibers (CNFs).

An independent, third-party reliability test of our CNF-MIM capacitor technology has confirmed the reliability results communicated on February 5, 2026. The independent validation, performed by a major capacitor manufacturer, also reduces technical risk in the commercialization process and strengthens Smoltek’s credibility in ongoing negotiations with industrial partners.
