According to a recent article by Nikkei Asia, the Japanese government is planning to designate advanced electronic components and MLCC as critical goods that will receive support from the state to shore up the supply chain and minimize the fallout from international emergencies. Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) are likely to be included in the designation. MLCCs are used in a wide range of devices such as...

Full paper download This paper describes the physical background of the voltage-dependent capacitance of class II Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCC) and present models for this dependency. The paper was presented by Chris Muter, TT Electronics, UK at the 4th PCNS 10-14th September 2023, Sønderborg, Denmark as paper No.2.4. Thick film printing is and has been the backbone of surface mount resistor products for many years. Although this...
Full paper download This paper describes the physical background of the voltage-dependent capacitance of class II Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCC) and present models for this dependency. The paper was presented by Frank Puhane, Würth Elektronik, Germany at the 4th PCNS 10-14th September 2023, Sønderborg, Denmark as paper No.2.3. Two processes of the voltage-dependency can be distinguished, leading to an immediate as well as a long-term capacitance dependence...
Full paper download Tantalum capacitors are the preferred choice for applications requiring the highest energy density, best reliability, low ESR, and excellent stability over wide ranges of time and application temperatures. This paper shows the latest status of newly developed powders that extend the range of forming voltage to 300Â V and 400 V and thus enables extension of tantalum capacitor voltage ranges to new...
Full paper download A stable, reliable, and responsible tantalum supply chain is critical to the supply of electronic components such as capacitors and semiconductors for the automotive, aerospace, medical, defense, energy, and chemical processing industries.  Until recently, the tantalum supply chain has experienced intermittent periods of stability and volatility. This paper will discuss tantalum supply chain past, present, and future, and how it can now...
