  • Publication number: 20220238284
    Abstract: Capacitors having electrodes made of interconnected corrugated carbon-based networks (ICCNs) are disclosed. The ICCN electrodes have properties that include high surface area and high electrical conductivity. Moreover, the electrodes are fabricated into an interdigital planar geometry with dimensions that range down to a sub-micron scale. As such, micro-supercapacitors employing ICCN electrodes are fabricated on flexible substrates for realizing flexible electronics and on-chip applications that can be integrated with micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology and complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology in a single chip. In addition, capacitors fabricated of ICCN electrodes that sandwich an ion porous separator realize relatively thin and flexible supercapacitors that provide compact and lightweight yet high density energy storage for scalable applications.

  • Patent number: 10998272
    Abstract: An electronic interposer may be formed using organic material layers, while allowing for the fabrication of high density interconnects within the electronic interposer without the use of embedded silicon bridges. This is achieved by forming the electronic interposer in three sections, i.e. an upper section, a lower section and a middle section. The middle section may be formed between the upper section and the lower section, wherein a thickness of each layer of the middle section is thinner than a thickness of any of the layers of the upper section and the lower section, and wherein conductive routes within the middle section have a higher density than conductive routes within the upper section and the lower section.
