Smoltek recently visited its Taiwanese partner in advanced microelectronic packaging to discuss the specific requirements for next generations of Smoltek's CNF-MIM (Carbon Nanofiber-Metal Insulator-Metal) capacitors.
No semiÂconÂducÂtor comÂpoÂnent is comÂplete withÂout propÂer packÂagÂing, and our CNF-MIM capacÂiÂtors are no exception.
Dr. Farzan GhaÂvaniÂni, CTO at Smoltek.
Last week, Dr. Farzan GhaÂvaniÂni met with Heinz Ru, PresÂiÂdent and CEO of Tong Hsing ElecÂtronÂics, in TaiÂwan to conÂtinÂue their disÂcusÂsions. The meetÂing focused on Smoltek’s CNF-MIM roadmap, includÂing packÂagÂing specÂiÂfiÂcaÂtions for next genÂerÂaÂtions of CNF-MIM capacÂiÂtors. This is a conÂtinÂuÂaÂtion of the sucÂcessÂful colÂlabÂoÂraÂtion between the two comÂpaÂnies that startÂed earÂliÂer this year, where they worked togethÂer on Smoltek’s Gen Zero capacitors.
