Smoltek negotiate CNF-MIM demo project
Smoltek negotiates with Imec on an industrially compatible process demonstration for CNF-MIM.
March 7, 2019
Smoltek has entered into negotiations with Imec, the world-leading research institute, on demo production of CNF-MIM capacitors in industrially compatible CMOS format, so-called 300mm format.
- Imec is a unique player with a complete and industrially compatible 300mm line, under one roof. They also have experience in the field of carbon nanotechnology, which we see as an added strength, says Anders Johansson, CEO of Smoltek.
- This negotiation is entirely in line with what we communicated in our prospectus for the on-going share issue, to carry out demo production of CMF-MIM capacitors in an industrially compatible full-scale format environment.
An agreement with Imec gives Smoltek an external partner for the verification of the technology, beyond its own lab environment, to present to possible licensees. 300mm is the process format that is the industry standard for high volume production of CMOS-based semiconductors.
Imec in brief:
• World-leading research and development centre within micro- and nanoelectronics space.
• Headquarters, lab and industrially compatible test fab in Leuven, Belgium
• Global presence with own offices
• 4,000 researchers
• Non-profit-organisation

After completed tests and evaluations, Smoltek Semi has now placed an order for a machine for future industrial manufacturing of carbon nanofibers to the company's ultra-thin CNF-MIM capacitors.
CNF-MIM technology license agreement extended – again
Smoltek conducts operations in the development, industrialization and licensing of technology solutions, based on the company's patent-protected carbon nanofiber technology, for the semiconductor industry within the Group company Smoltek Semi. Its main focus is the industrialization and commercialization of the company’s ultra-thin CNF-MIM capacitors.
Miniaturized capacitors with carbon nanofibers
Smoltek has developed the world’s thinnest discrete capacitor. You have to stack ten of them on top of each other to reach the same height as today’s industry-standard when it comes to surface-mounted capacitors. The most amazing thing about this microscopic capacitor is its performance. One square millimeter has a capacitance of a whopping 650 nanofarads (650 nF/mm2). Read on for more details.
Smoltek—from carbon nanofibers to mind-controlled robotic prostheses
Smoltek holds unique world patents for technologies that make material engineering on an atomic level possible. Smoltek has solutions that allow continued miniaturization and increased performance of semiconductors, contribute to carbon-free steel production and renewable energy storage, and enable mind control of robotic prostheses. This is a story of how Smoltek came to be.
Operational update on the activities in Smoltek Semi
A main goal for Smoltek Semi is to develop an industrial process for mass production of discrete CNF-MIM capacitors at contract manufacturers (foundry), including a specially designed machine for large-scale production of carbon nanofibers.
