Smoltek wins the Best Oral Paper Award at EDAPS 2019

The EDAPS sym­posi­um con­sists of tech­nic­al paper present­a­tion, poster ses­sions, industry exhib­its, work­shops and tutori­als. Design­ers, engin­eers and research­ers across the world come forth to share and dis­cuss their work on all aspects of elec­tric­al sig­nal integ­rity includ­ing mod­el­ing, design and sim­u­la­tion, fab­ric­a­tion, char­ac­ter­iz­a­tion and packaging.

At the con­fer­ence, Vin­cent Des­mar­is, CTO of Smol­tek, presen­ted the Smol­tek paper: “Ultra Thin Capa­cit­ors based on Car­bon nan­ofibers with Ultra High Capa­cit­ance Dens­ity,” in which he said:

“We are tak­ing the oppor­tun­ity to present the latest achieve­ments of our CNF-MIM tech­no­logy, emphas­iz­ing our latest tech­no­lo­gic­al devel­op­ment. The CNF-MIM elec­tric­al data now fea­ture an equi­val­ent series res­ist­ance (ESR) of about 40 mΩ, which rep­res­ents more than a two­fold improve­ment com­pared to data released at SEMICON Taiwan 2019. This tech­no­lo­gic­al step also put us on a par with the oth­er com­pet­ing tech­no­lo­gies when it comes to elec­tric­al data but at a frac­tion of their volume.”

At the clos­ing cere­mony of the con­fer­ence Vincent’s present­a­tion was awar­ded ‘Best Oral Paper’-presentation. How­ever, by then the Smol­tek team had already left the con­fer­ence for busi­ness meet­ings in Taiwan. In fact, it wasn’t until yes­ter­day, when Vin­cent received an e‑mail from the EDAPS 2019 sec­ret­ari­at inform­ing him on the award, that we became aware of the achievement.

Still, late news can be good news.
