Our technology
Smoltek specializes in development of nanostructure fabrication technology to solve advanced materials engineering problems.
Solutions for the new wave of microelectronics
In the pursuit of miniaturization in the semiconductor industry Smoltek has developed a number of concepts and prototypes aimed for advanced packaging and heterogenous integration that will provide higher performance with a lower profile and a significantly reduced footprint.
CNF-MIM – Capacitor technology platform
Smoltek's CNF-MIM capacitor technology is a revolutionizing way of making high performance capacitors with an extremely small footprint and a very thin profile.
The CNF-MIM capacitor technology platform enables production of several different types of capacitor components, including discrete passives, embedded capacitors and capacitors directly integrated on the chip. All done in a CMOS-compatible process.
Smoltek technology opportunities
Smoltek has developed an extensive IP portfolio with more than 100 patents granted and pending. Our innovative nanotechnology can be used in almost any technological platforms and/or applications where today's materials no longer are up for the task.
Together with a significant body of know-how our technology platform offers a huge variation of business opportunities.
How we do it
The patented and patent pending technology platform enables growth of carbon nanostructures on a CMOS compatible industrial platform at industry-compatible temperatures. The R&D is focused on engineering combinations of material stacks that enable the growth of carbon nanostructures on different substrates with the freedom to tailor the positioning and properties of the grown nanostructures.
This is completely new and revolutionizing way to manufacture high performance, solid state capacitors with extreme form factor has been developed as a technology platform. This technology works for discrete component capacitors as well as for in-circuit directly integrated capacitors.
