Smoltek patent No. 81 now granted

Smoltek’s 81st patent has been grant­ed in India and relates to the Assem­bly plat­form fam­i­ly, which is a par­tic­u­lar appli­ca­tion in the field of inter­con­nects and het­ero­ge­neous integration.

“Our Assem­bly plat­form patent fam­i­ly is a path­way to tap into the increas­ing demand for minia­tur­iza­tion of elec­tron­ic com­po­nents and inter­con­nect them in the form of an assem­bly to min­i­mize foot­print at the pack­ag­ing lev­el”,

Farzan Gha­vani­ni, CTO at Smoltek.

In the con­text of our Assem­bly plat­form and inter­con­nects, the present appli­ca­tions con­cepts take advan­tage of the wet­ta­bil­i­ty prop­er­ties of nanos­truc­tures to form small sized com­pos­ite inter­con­nect bumps togeth­er with tra­di­tion­al solder/​metal mate­ri­als. Such com­pos­ite inter­con­nects pro­vide a means to improve the elec­tri­cal reli­a­bil­i­ty of the solder/​metal bumps since car­bon nanos­truc­tures are inher­ent­ly capa­ble of car­ry­ing high cur­rent at a much small­er footprint.
