Substantial improvement in capacitance density for CNF-MIM
At the annual IEEE Electronic Component and Technology Conference 2019 Smoltek presented new and improved measurement data for the CNF-MIM capacitance density – now in the range over 350nF/mm^2.
May 31, 2019
The tech-team has worked really hard with the development of our CNF-MIM capacitor technology. And now at ECTC 2019 in Las Vegas, we can present the confirmed results of that specific work.
Vincent, CTO at Smoltek says: “I am very pleased to have presented the latest results of our CNF-MIM technology at ECTC2019, which demonstrates capacitance densities in excess of 350 nF/mm^2. It is important to expose our technology to the electronics packaging community. This enables our technical team to synchronize the further optimization of our CNF-MIM technology with the industry’s actual needs.”
Smoltek is continuously in process of optimizing the concept design in order to make it more flexible and to address other important parameters like ESR and ESL of the CNF-MIM capacitors. Furthermore, the enhancement of CNF-MIM performance metrices are always confirmed by more than one 3rd party verifications.

Miniaturized capacitors with carbon nanofibers
Smoltek has developed the world’s thinnest discrete capacitor. You have to stack ten of them on top of each other to reach the same height as today’s industry-standard when it comes to surface-mounted capacitors. The most amazing thing about this microscopic capacitor is its performance. One square millimeter has a capacitance of a whopping 650 nanofarads (650 nF/mm2). Read on for more details.
