New dielectric stack for CNF-MIM capacitors boost capacitance density by 230%
Smoltek Semi has spent the last nine months working intensively on a project to develop a new dielectric stack for the CNF-MIM capacitor technology resulting in a 230% boost in capacitance density.
Smoltek has been granted a new patent in the Discrete CNF-MIM patent family
Smoltek has been awarded a new patent in the Discrete CNF-MIM patent family. The protected innovation in this patent family discloses a discrete capacitor component based on our CNF-MIM technology. This also brings our IP portfolio to comprise 91 granted patents.
Smoltek is seeking strong partners for industrialization of CNF-MIM capacitors
Smoltek's CNF-MIM technology offers a competitive alternative to silicon capacitors for ultra-thin high-performance capacitors used in processors for mobile phones and computers. The next-generation capacitors, Gen-One, is planned to be completed by the end of 2024, matching competitors in performance with an exceptionally thin form factor. The strategic objective is to pair up with a financially strong partner for the industrialization and commercialization of the capacitors.
Multilayer Cap
The Multilayer Cap patent family introduces a MIM-capacitor device that can double or triple the capacitance density of Smoltek's CNF-MIM capacitors. The patent details an invention for a layered energy storage device, specifically a capacitor, built using a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) configuration.
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).
