Yageo Group sees a lot of potential in Smoltek

In an inter­view, first pub­lished in a Ger­man tech magazine, in July this year, Philip Less­ner, CTO at Yageo Group spoke about the plans they have for tech­no­logy and mar­ket leadership.

In the art­icle, he also speaks about the advant­ages with Smol­tek’s CNF-MIM capa­cit­or technology:

In the past, there have been few pass­ive device activ­it­ies that have used semi­con­duct­or pro­cess tech­no­logy to pro­duce pass­ive devices. Ipe­dia is prob­ably the best known. Our goal is also to map the func­tions of pass­ive com­pon­ents in semi­con­duct­ors. In col­lab­or­a­tion with Smol­tek Semi, we build car­bon nan­ofibers on 8‑inch sil­ic­on wafers, with the rest of the pro­cessing done as part of a nor­mal CMOS pro­cess tech­no­logy. Such a wafer would then prob­ably provide us with 48,000 CNF-MIM capa­cit­ors of size 0402.
