A fixed-value capacitor known as a ceramic capacitor uses a ceramic material as its dielectric. It is made up of two or more ceramic layers that alternate with a metal electrode layer.
The electrical behavior and thus the applications of ceramic materials are determined by their composition. Two application classifications are distinguished for ceramic capacitors:
For resonant circuit applications, class 1 Ceramic Feedthrough Capacitors offer high stability and minimal losses. High volumetric efficiency is provided by Class 2 ceramic capacitors for a buffer, by-pass, and coupling applications.
Approximately one trillion (1012) pieces of ceramic capacitors, particularly multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), are made and utilized annually in electronic equipment.
Ceramic capacitors with unique forms and patterns are utilized as feed-through capacitors, power capacitors for transmitters, and RFI/EMI suppression capacitors. Since the inception of electrical research, non-conductive materials including mica, glass, porcelain, and paper have been employed as insulators. Many years later, these materials were still suitable for use as the dielectric for the first capacitors.
Porcelain capacitors were employed in the transmitters of Marconi's early wireless transmission equipment for high-voltage and high-frequency applications. The smaller mica capacitors were utilized for resonant circuits on the receiver side. Mica was the most used capacitor dielectric in the United States prior to World War II.
Mica is a naturally occurring substance that isn't in infinite supply. The lack of mica in Germany and the development of porcelain, a unique class of ceramic, led to the creation of the first ceramic capacitors in Germany, establishing a new family of ceramic feedthrough capacitors.
Because it exhibited a linear temperature dependence of capacitance for temperature compensation of resonant circuits and could replace mica capacitors, paraelectric titanium dioxide (rutile) was utilized as the first ceramic dielectric.
Small amounts of these ceramic capacitors were manufactured, and production increased. These early ceramics were made in the form of a disc that had metallization on both sides and was connected by tinned wires.
The Global Ceramic Feedthrough Capacitor market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The first multilayer Ceramic Feedthrough Capacitor in the world with a maximum electrostatic capacitance of 10 F has been created and put into mass production by Murata Manufacturing Co. It is available in the 0402-inch size (1.0 0.5 mm) for powertrain and safety applications in automobiles.
As a result of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), the transition to self-driving cars, and other high-functioning vehicles, the number of processors installed in a single car has grown recently. Additionally, the number of multilayer ceramic capacitors installed to ensure the proper operation of these functions is growing.
Due to these trends, there is an increasing need to enhance the high-frequency characteristics of multilayer ceramic capacitors for automotive applications through a move to products that are small, have a large capacity, and have a low ESL in order to enhance reliability and decrease surface area by reducing the number of components.
