Kickoff for Smoltek and Yageo collab
Smoltek and Yageo have started the collaboration to industrialize and commercialize our ultra-thin carbon nanofiber capacitors.
October 7, 2022
The group company Smoltek Semi, which develops our innovative capacitor technology, together with the electronics component manufacturer Yageo, has started the commercialization of our ultra-thin carbon nanofiber capacitors.
“The purpose of meeting at our place in Gothenburg for a workshop was to gather expertise and resources from Smoltek and Yageo for information exchange and to establish a common goal and agenda for the work to commercialize Smoltek’s ultra-thin capacitors.”
Håkan Persson, CEO of Smoltek
The first product that will be developed within the collaboration is a decoupling capacitor for application processors in next-generation mobile phones. The work began with a workshop in Gothenburg and is in accordance with the joint development agreement the parties signed this summer.
“Yageo Corporation is now collaborating with the Swedish innovative nanotechnology company Smoltek to industrialize silicon capacitors with carbon nanofibers. We kicked off the project last month at Smoltek’s headquarters in Gothenburg. We also got a tour of the MC2 laboratory at Chalmers University of Technology where Smoltek grows its carbon nanofibers.”

Miniaturized capacitors with carbon nanofibers
Smoltek has developed the world’s thinnest discrete capacitor. You have to stack ten of them on top of each other to reach the same height as today’s industry-standard when it comes to surface-mounted capacitors. The most amazing thing about this microscopic capacitor is its performance. One square millimeter has a capacitance of a whopping 650 nanofarads (650 nF/mm2). Read on for more details.
Smoltek—from carbon nanofibers to mind-controlled robotic prostheses
Smoltek holds unique world patents for technologies that make material engineering on an atomic level possible. Smoltek has solutions that allow continued miniaturization and increased performance of semiconductors, contribute to carbon-free steel production and renewable energy storage, and enable mind control of robotic prostheses. This is a story of how Smoltek came to be.
