Published paper in Solid-State Electronics
We are happy to announce that our paper "Integrated on-chip solid state capacitor based on vertically aligned carbon nanofibers, grown using a CMOS temperature compatible process" is published in the academic journal Solid-State Electronics.
November 3, 2017
The paper written by the Smoltek tech team describes extreme low profile 3D on-chip integrated solid-state capacitors based on VACNFs. The areal capacitance density value of 11–15 nF/mm2 was achieved exploiting CMOS compatible microfabrication processes. Such extreme low profile with high value capacitance makes the technology a contender to be directly integrated on the active CMOS chip, or in multi-chip package and passives on silicon or glass interposer boosting 2.5D and 3D packaging performances.

With our carbon nanofibers (CNFs) fabrication technology, we develop advanced packing solutions and ultra-miniaturized capacitors for use in the semiconductor industry.
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.
