About Smoltek Semi

Smoltek Semi AB is a whol­ly owned sub­sidiary of Smoltek Nan­otech Hold­ing AB, oper­at­ing as an inde­pen­dent com­pa­ny focused on devel­op­ing break­through tech­nolo­gies for the semi­con­duc­tor industry.

For glob­al man­u­fac­tur­ers of advanced elec­tron­ic sys­tems who need to place decou­pling capac­i­tors direct­ly on the under­side of chips between their inter­con­nects to max­i­mize chip per­for­mance while main­tain­ing sta­ble pow­er deliv­ery, CNF-MIM capac­i­tors are ultra-thin capac­i­tors that pro­vide extreme­ly high capac­i­tance in rela­tion to their vol­ume. Unlike deep trench capac­i­tors (DTC), which face phys­i­cal lim­i­ta­tions in their sub­trac­tive man­u­fac­tur­ing process, CNF-MIM tech­nol­o­gy uses an addi­tive approach requir­ing few­er pro­duc­tion steps, result­ing in both cost sav­ings and greater design flex­i­bil­i­ty for next-gen­er­a­tion electronics.
