The future for the capacitor industry
Interview with Philip Lessner, CTO of Yageo Group about the future of the capacitor industry, the market and technology needs for ultra-thin capacitors. And how CNF-MIM technology fits into this market. This is a follow-up to last year’s interview, about how the two companies were a perfect fit. Yageo remains interested in Smoltek’s CNF-MIM capacitors and sees great potential for using CNF-MIM capacitors now and in the future.
