Smoltek Semi has cleared a significant milestone in the development of next-generation CNF-MIM capacitors. Samples from the latest prototype generation, fabricated with an advanced dielectric stack composed of zirconium oxide (ZrO₂) and aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) have demonstrated exceptional stability under both temperature and voltage stress.
Smoltek Semi has initiated the signing of a technical service agreement with the Taiwanese Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) that enables low-volume production of Smoltek's propriety CNF-MIM capacitors.
This is a summary of an article featuring Smoltek titled "Smoltek bryter teknisk barriär och efterlyser pengar" published by elektroniktidningen on June 16, 2025.
Smoltek Semi joins an elite club of companies achieving 1 µF/mm² capacitance density, but stands alone in reaching this milestone with an ultra-thin profile. This breakthrough unlocks the under-chip real estate that represents the holy grail of capacitor placement in modern electronics.
Smoltek Hydrogen is developing Smoltek PTE – a proprietary porous transport electrode based on carbon nanostructures, which is intended to meet the requirements of next-generation PEM electrolyzers for the production of fossil-free hydrogen.
Smoltek Semi has successfully engineered an advanced dielectric stack that surpasses 1 microfarad per Square millimeter capacitance milestone.
Smoltek Semi develops CNF-MIM – a proprietary capacitor technology based on carbon nanofibers, which is intended to meet the demands of next-generation electronics, including applications in AI, smartphones and automotive electronics.
Smoltek held its Annual General Meeting on Wednesday, May 14, and the meeting resolved, in accordance with the nomination committee's proposal, to re-elect board members Gustav Brismark, Emma Rönnmark and David Gramnaes and to elect board members Oskar Säfström and Johan Rask. Oskar Säfström was subsequently elected Chairman of the Board.
Smoltek is awarded yet another patent in the Discrete CNF-MIM patent family. The innovation discloses a discrete capacitor component based on our CNF-MIM technology that can achieve unparalleled high capacitance density. This also brings our IP portfolio to comprise 95 granted patents.
Smoltek Semi and the Taiwanese Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) have finalized the technical framework for the establishment of a pilot production line for Smoltek's CNF-MIM capacitors at ITRI.
Qi Li and ChinJung Kuo of Smoltek Semi have met with Skytech management in Taiwan for planning of testing dummy runs for ALD deposition of Smoltek's CNF-MIM capacitors.
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.
