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.
