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.

​

Solutions for the semiconductor industry

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 Tiger™ is an assembly platform concept for advanced packaging and heterogenous integration that consists of integrated capacitors, interconnects and interposers that are incapsulated by an thermal heat dissipation film.
