Navigating big-tech corporate product development as a small high-tech company

Navigating big-tech corporate product development as a small high-tech company

For indus­tri­al enter­pris­es, bring­ing new tech­nolo­gies into exist­ing prod­uct lines fol­lows a struc­tured process. Under­stand­ing this process is vital for high-tech com­pa­nies seek­ing inte­gra­tion part­ner­ships. Here, we explain the sys­tem­at­ic jour­ney that gov­erns how indus­tri­al enter­pris­es eval­u­ate and adopt inno­va­tions, and how high-tech com­pa­nies can cre­ate rev­enue oppor­tu­ni­ties at each stage along the way.

Capacitors’ capacity for minimizing COâ‚‚ footprint – a small story

Capacitors’ capacity for minimizing COâ‚‚ footprint – a small story

In an age where envi­ron­men­tal sus­tain­abil­i­ty is of utter impor­tance, it is cru­cial to find inno­v­a­tive solu­tions to reduce ener­gy con­sump­tion and min­i­mize our car­bon foot­print. One such solu­tion is found in capac­i­tors. These unas­sum­ing elec­tron­ic com­po­nents not only play an impor­tant role in var­i­ous sys­tems, but also offer sig­nif­i­cant envi­ron­men­tal ben­e­fits. Albeit very small – if count­ed one by one.

Smoltek has been awarded another patent for the CNF-MIM technology

Smoltek is award­ed an addi­tion­al patent in the Dis­crete CNF-MIM patent fam­i­ly. The pro­tect­ed inno­va­tion in this patent fam­i­ly dis­clos­es a dis­crete capac­i­tor com­po­nent based on our CNF-MIM tech­nol­o­gy. This also brings our IP port­fo­lio to com­prise 94 grant­ed patents.

Smoltek has been awarded another patent for improving capacitor density

Smoltek has been award­ed anoth­er patent in the Mul­ti­lay­er Cap patent fam­i­ly. The inno­va­tion in this patent fam­i­ly intro­duces a MIM-capac­i­tor device that can dou­ble or triple the capac­i­tance den­si­ty of our CNF-MIM capacitors.

Deep Trench Capacitors (DTC) is a dead end – CNF-MIM is the way forward

Deep Trench Capacitors (DTC) is a dead end – CNF-MIM is the way forward

Mod­ern elec­tron­ics demand increas­ing­ly com­pact and pow­er­ful capac­i­tors, and the race for minia­tur­iza­tion has reached a crit­i­cal junc­ture. While both Deep Trench Capac­i­tors (DTC) and Car­bon Nanofiber Met­al-Insu­la­tor-Met­al (CNF-MIM) capac­i­tors are being devel­oped for advanced appli­ca­tions requir­ing small­er size and high­er capac­i­tance den­si­ty than con­ven­tion­al sur­face-mount­ed capac­i­tors, DTC push­es the bound­aries of what’s achiev­able with sub­trac­tive man­u­fac­tur­ing, but is hit­ting fun­da­men­tal phys­i­cal lim­its. In con­trast, Smoltek’s inno­v­a­tive CNF-MIM tech­nol­o­gy offers a rev­o­lu­tion­ary path for­ward, unre­strict­ed by these constraints.

The future for the capacitor industry (part 2)

Inter­view with Philip Less­ner, CTO of Yageo Group about the rapid devel­op­ment in the capac­i­tor indus­try, the mar­ket evolve­ment and future tech­nol­o­gy needs for ultra-thin capac­i­tors. And how CNF-MIM tech­nol­o­gy fits into this mar­ket. This is a fol­low-up to the inter­view from ear­li­er this year. Yageo remains inter­est­ed in Smoltek’s CNF-MIM capac­i­tors and sees great poten­tial for using CNF-MIM capac­i­tors in their cus­tomer offering.
