License agreement for evaluation of CNF-MIM technology extended
Smoltek announces that the license agreement, signed with a global manufacturer of electronic components for its technical and commercial evaluation of Smoltek’s capacitor technology, will be further extended until the end of August 2021. The extended joint project will continue with the aim of making it possible for the customer to enter into a commercial licensing agreement with Smoltek.
April 18, 2021
The license agreement signed in April 2020 with a world-leading manufacturer of passive electronic components, including capacitors, has previously been extended until March 2021. One of the reasons behind this extension has been a specific technical challenge that took longer than expected to solve.
Another reason is that the ongoing pandemic situation has affected the time required for several work processes in the project. Smoltek has recently succeeded in delivering very good results which have convinced the customer of the potential for capacitors based on Smoltek’s CNF-MIM capacitor technology.
“I am very pleased to be able to extend this important next development stage in the collaboration, where the customer continues to believe in the great potential of our CNF-MIM capacitor technology and that they have confidence in the Smoltek team’s ability to develop the technology further” says Ola Tiverman, CEO of the subsidiary Smoltek Semi AB, which is responsible for licensing Smoltek’s technology to companies in the semiconductor industry.
“We are now in a great position to finalize this phase of the project according to their specifications,” Ola Tiverman concludes.

CNF-MIM technology license agreement extended – again
Smoltek conducts operations in the development, industrialization and licensing of technology solutions, based on the company's patent-protected carbon nanofiber technology, for the semiconductor industry within the Group company Smoltek Semi. Its main focus is the industrialization and commercialization of the company’s ultra-thin CNF-MIM capacitors.
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.
Operational update on the activities in Smoltek Semi
A main goal for Smoltek Semi is to develop an industrial process for mass production of discrete CNF-MIM capacitors at contract manufacturers (foundry), including a specially designed machine for large-scale production of carbon nanofibers.
