Technology drives the world forward. Smoltek is ready to make space for the next technological leap in the semiconductor and hydrogen industries.
Our patent-protected technology radically increases the available surface for chemical and electrical processes, enabling more compact, energy-efficient, powerful and cost-efficient products.
The number of transistors on microchips is doubled every second year, driven by the quest for more computing power. With our technology for ultra-thin capacitors that make space on microchips, the semiconductor industry can once again meet rising demands for higher performance.
The interest in green hydrogen is taking off, but the current need for iridium drives costs, making upscaling difficult. With our technology for compact electrolyzers using a minimum of precious catalyst particles, the green hydrogen industry can turn prospects into business.
Approximately 1,000 billion semiconductors are produced worldwide annually. To understand the magnitude of the business, that number corresponds to 125 semiconductors per person and year. Modern electric cars usually contain 2,000 semiconductors.
A rapidly evolving market. In 2021, the global PEM (Proton-exchange membrane) electrolyzer market was valued at USD 737 million. This figure is expected to rise to almost USD 4,3 billion in 2027.
Smoltek is developing process technology and concepts for applications in order to solve advanced materials engineering problems. By pioneering carbon nanotechnology we are literally pushing the limits of what is possible in the semiconductor and hydrogen industries.
Our patent protected technology platform is based on carbon nanofibers (CNFs), which have very exciting properties, that may disrupt technical solutions where today’s materials have reached their limit of performance.
As an example, we have developed a prototype of the world’s smallest capacitor and we are developing a new cell-material with the ambition to double (or even triple) the area-efficiency of PEM water-electrolyzers.
We are scientists and engineers with a passion for nanotechnology. We are in the never-ending search of how to enhance and fabricate carbon nanostructures, with unique properties, in pre-defined patterns to enable better solutions within several industries.

Make your moveWe are pleased to announce that the new zirconia based dielectric stack, previously reported to show 230% improvement in capacitance density, has now passed the 1,000-hour DC life test, a preliminary reliability test, carried out by capacitor manufacturer Yageo.
Dr. Farzan Ghavanini, CTO of Smoltek has been on a week-long business trip to Taiwan to visit some of our collaboration partners for CNF-MIM capacitors, among those ALD-company Skytech.
Leading PEM technology expert Dr. Felix Büchi has completed an independent assessment of Smoltek Hydrogen’s Porous Transport Electrode (PTE) technology, confirming its unique ability to significantly reduce iridium usage while maintaining the same high performance in hydrogen production as conventional technology.
Smoltek recently visited its Taiwanese partner in advanced microelectronic packaging to discuss the specific requirements for next generations of Smoltek’s CNF-MIM (Carbon Nanofiber-Metal Insulator-Metal) capacitors.
Smoltek Semi and Taiwanese Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) are discussing a collaboration to set up a pilot line for fabrication of CNF-MIM capacitors in Taiwan as part of getting ready for mass production.
Interview with Philip Lessner, CTO of Yageo Group about the rapid development in the capacitor industry, the market evolvement and future technology needs for ultra-thin capacitors. And how CNF-MIM technology fits into this market. This is a follow-up to the interview from earlier this year. Yageo remains interested in Smoltek’s CNF-MIM capacitors and sees great potential for using CNF-MIM capacitors in their customer offering.
