Smoltek has received a new patent for improving the capacitance density of CNF-MIM capacitors
Smoltek has received a new patent for improving the capacitance density of our CNF-MIM capacitors. This innovation, a type of capacitor, can increase the capacitance density by two to three times, which is crucial for Smoltek's business and technology growth.
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.

Gen-One – next generation of Smoltek’s carbon nanofiber capacitors
Smotek Semi is taking the next step in the development of the CNF-MIM capacitor technology, in technical collaboration with Yageo. And the next generation – Gen-One is expected to deliver a fivefold increase in capacitance density compared to Gen-Zero.
A new generation of Smoltek’s CNF-MIM capacitor technology
In this interview, Farzan Ghavanini, CTO at Smotek, talks about how Smoltek Semi has developed a new technology generation of our CNF-MIM capacitor technology. The new generation, called Gen-Zero, is the foundation for achieving the goal of manufacturing different types of capacitors with very high capacitance density – by enabling high volumetric capacitance density.

Smoltek has been granted two new patents – strengthening the Discrete CNF-MIM patent family
Smoltek has been awarded two new patent grants in a patent family called Discrete CNF-MIM. The protected innovation discloses a discrete capacitor component based on our CNF-MIM technology. With these two patents, our IP portfolio will now comprise 89 granted patents.
Smoltek patent No. 84 now granted
Smoltek has been awarded yet another patent in our patent family for Interposers, protecting solutions based on the CNF-MIM capacitor technology. The patent has been granted in Korea, bringing our patent portfolio to 84 granted patents globally.
Smoltek intends to sign an exclusive agreement with Yageo Group
Smoltek has the intention to sign a global exclusive license and services agreement for discrete and embedded capacitors with YAGEO Group. This would grant YAGEO a global, exclusive right to manufacture and sell capacitor products based on Smoltek's patent protected technology platform for ultra-thin carbon nanofiber capacitors (CNF-MIM).
Why capacitors?
Smoltek’s business division for the semiconductor industry, Smoltek Semi, focuses one hundred percent on capacitors. Why? After all, a capacitor is not a semiconductor. And what is the endgame for this venture? These are questions we address in this blog post.
Q&A about capacitors and electrolyzers
Håkan Persson, CEO of Smoltek, talked at the one-day conference Aktiedagen Lund organized by Aktiespararna (the Swedish Shareholders’ Association). His presentation offered some news and insights that are worth exploring further. So, let’s follow up with some questions for Håkan.
We enable the next-generation capacitors
Advanced nano- and microelectronics are at the core of tomorrow’s hardware engineering. At Smoltek we are pioneering carbon nanotechnology that enables manufacturing of the next-generation solutions for the semiconductor industry. Currently the focus is on a new type of carbon nanofiber-based capacitor that fits in the extremely miniaturized packaging architectures being developed by chip manufacturers.
Smoltek patent No. 82 now granted
Smoltek has been awarded yet another patent in our patent family for Interposers, protecting solutions based on the CNF-MIM capacitor technology. The patent has been granted in India, bringing our patent portfolio to 82 granted patents globally.
