Smoltek nears pilot production of CNF-MIM capacitors
Smoltek Semi and the Taiwanese Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) have finalized the technical framework for the establishment of a pilot production line for Smoltek's CNF-MIM capacitors at ITRI.
March 25, 2025
In early March, Smoltek Semi met with ITRI management to finalize the technical details for the establishment of a pilot production line for Smoltek’s CNF-MIM capacitors. The framework includes several time-bound project blocks, where each step is carefully planned and evaluated to ensure a stable and efficient development process. In parallel, the development of Smoltek’s CNF-MIM technology continues, where each prototype generation – currently CNF-MIM Gen-One – is tested and improved in multiple iterations to optimize performance.
