Smoltek goes beyond Silicon
At the virtual IEEE NANO 2020 conference in Montreal, Canada Smoltek presented that the CNF-MIM capacitor concept isn't restrained to only silicon substrates.
August 19, 2020
“At this conference we showed for the first time in public that our CNF-MIM can be fabricated on other substrates than Silicon. Demonstrating CNF-MIM on glass and alumina substrates clearly widens the potential implementation and applications of our capacitors,” says Vincent Desmaris, CTO at Smoltek.
This was presented in a new technical paper by Smoltek’s R&D‑engineer Elisa Passalacqua in the virtual presentations at the IEEE Nano 2020, held in Montreal, Canada July 29–31.
