The Discrete CNF-MIM patents disclose an ultra-thin capacitor technology that could achieve extremely high capacitance densities thanks to unparalleled surface density provided by carbon nanofibers. Such a technology enables advanced integration methodologies bringing the capacitors in the power distribution network as close as possible to the processors, which is crucial in areas like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), wearable devices, and high-performance computing.

Smoltek’s patent portfolio now globally comprises 95 granted patents. Read more about our IP and patents.
