Smoltek’s carbon based capacitors turns out to be right on target for the semiconductor industry

Smol­tek atten­ded the IMAPS 2020 Device Pack­aging Con­fer­ence March, 2–5 2020, togeth­er with semi­con­duct­or giants like Sam­sung, Qual­comm and ASE Group. And the main mes­sage of the con­fer­ence was that con­tinu­ous col­lab­or­a­tion is neces­sary for innov­a­tion as Rich Rice, ASE’s Sen­or VP of Busi­ness Devel­op­ment, emphas­ized in his open­ing keynote.

Fol­low­ing up on the need for innov­a­tion, Chris­ti­an Hoff­mann, prin­cip­al engin­eer at Qual­comm stated in his key­note that: ”The single most import­ant ques­tion for semi­con­duct­or pack­ages for mobile phones is: How thin can we make it?”

”This res­on­ates quite well with Smol­teks CNF-MIM tech­no­logy as the thick­ness of the act­ive capa­cit­or stack of the CNF-MIM tech­no­logy is in the single digit micro­met­er range. This ultra- low thick­ness of the act­ive capa­cit­ive ele­ment enables Smoltek’s licensees to man­u­fac­ture dis­crete capa­cit­ors with an unpre­ced­en­ted low pro­file.”, Karl Lundahl VP Product Man­age­ments at Smol­tek states.

Anders Johans­son, CEO of Smol­tek, fills in: “This shows how our car­bon based capa­cit­or concept is right on tar­get for the semi­con­duct­or industry, a new dis­rupt­ive innov­a­tion that will sup­port con­tinu­ous devel­op­ment of advanced pack­age architectures.”

Interactive sessions

On Wed­nes­day March 4, Vin­cent Des­mar­is, CTO of Smol­tek, held an appre­ci­ated present­a­tion in the pleas­ant Ari­zona after­noon spring. Hov­er­ing Vin­cent and the Smol­tek poster were numer­ous curi­ous con­fer­ence attend­ants inquir­ing about the CNF-MIM tech­no­logy and its advant­ages for the pack­aging industry.

Besides the shar­ing the latest updates of our capa­cit­or innov­a­tion at the IMAPS Device Pack­aging Con­fer­ence Smol­tek also made sev­er­al new and sig­ni­fic­ant con­nec­tions with new industry entities/​players that can be inter­ested for licensing/​development of the CNF-MIM-concept.

“IMAPS in Phoenix gathered the right com­pan­ies for one-on-one meet­ings as well as an envir­on­ment for busi­ness intel­li­gence. And not at least great net­work­ing oppor­tun­it­ies, all import­ant for our future jour­ney”, Anders Johans­son, CEO of Smol­tek, concluded.
