Smoltek patent No. 56 now granted

“This is the second gran­ted pat­ent from our second wave of pat­ent fil­ings that pro­tect our CNF-MIM capa­cit­or tech­no­logy and vari­ous use cases for the same, primar­ily in the semi­con­duct­or and elec­tron­ics spaces,” says Dr Shafiq Kabir, Founder and Chief Innov­a­tion Officer at Smoltek.

Inter­posers are fre­quently used in today’s advanced pack­aging archi­tec­tures for integ­rated cir­cuits, for example com­monly used for micro­pro­cessors. The present pat­en­ted con­cepts are built on the need to improve cir­cuit per­form­ance by enabling a com­pact energy stor­age interposer.

Smoltek’s inven­tions facil­it­ate such integ­ra­tion of extremely low-pro­file sol­id state energy stor­age devices such as CNF-MIM capa­cit­ors, closer to the con­nec­tion points and power rails of the act­ive chips. CNF-MIM offers industry’s smal­lest form­factor for integ­rated high-per­form­ance capa­cit­ors, this by provid­ing very high capa­cit­ance per area at a frag­ment of height com­pared with today’s technologies.

Dr Shafiq Kabir concludes:

“We are now wit­ness­ing the first gran­ted pat­ents related to CNF-MIM in inter­poser applic­a­tions, and this is hap­pen­ing in line with indus­tri­al needs. We are con­stantly striv­ing for R&D and IP pro­tec­tion schemes that bring new dis­rupt­ive solu­tions to prob­lems that tra­di­tion­al tech­no­lo­gies can­not address efficiently.”

Smoltek’s pat­ent port­fo­lio now glob­ally com­prises 56 gran­ted pat­ents. Read more about our IP and patents.
