C0G (NP0) Dielectric

General Specifications

C0G (NP0) is the most popular formulation of the “tempera-
ture-compensating,” EIA Class I ceramic materials. Modern
C0G (NP0) formulations contain neodymium, samarium and
other rare earth oxides.

C0G (NP0) ceramics offer one of the most stable capacitor
dielectrics  available.  Capacitance  change  with  temperature
is 0 ±30ppm/°C which is less than ±0.3% 

C from -55°C

to  +125°C.  Capacitance  drift  or  hysteresis  for  C0G  (NP0)
ceramics  is  negligible  at  less  than  ±0.05%  versus  up  to
±2%  for  films.  Typical  capacitance  change  with  life  is  less
than  ±0.1%  for  C0G  (NP0),  one-fifth  that  shown  by  most
other  dielectrics.  C0G  (NP0)  formulations  show  no  aging
characteristics.

X8R Dielectric

General Specifications

AVX have developed a range of multilayer ceramic capacitors designed for use in applications up to
150ºC. These capacitors are manufactured with an X8R dielectric material which has a capacitance
variation of ±15% between -55ºC and +150ºC.

The need for X8R performance has been driven by customer requirements for parts that operate at
elevated temperatures. They provide a highly reliable capacitor with low loss and stable capacitance
over temperature.

They  are  ideal  for  automotive  under  the  hood  sensors,  measure  while  drilling  and  log  while  drilling.
Typical  applications  include  wire  line  logging  tools  such  as  gamma  ray  receivers,  acoustic  trans-
ceivers  and  micro-resistivity  tools.  They  can  also  be  used  as  bulk  capacitors  for  high  temperature
camera modules.

X8R capacitors are available as standard and Automotive AEC-Q200 qualified parts. Optional termi-
nation  systems,  tin,  FLEXITERM

TM

and  conductive  epoxy  for  hybrid  applications  are  available.

Providing  this  series  with  our  FLEXITERM

TM

termination  system  provides  further  advantage  to  cus-

tomers by way of enhanced resistance to both, temperature cycling and mechanical damage.

X7R Dielectric

General Specifications

X7R  formulations  are  called  “temperature  stable”  ceramics
and fall into EIA Class II materials. X7R is the most popular
of these intermediate dielectric constant materials. Its tem-
perature  variation  of  capacitance  is  within  ±15%  from
-55°C to +125°C. This capacitance change is non-linear.

Capacitance for X7R varies under the influence of electrical
operating conditions such as voltage and frequency.

X7R  dielectric  chip  usage  covers  the  broad  spectrum  of
industrial  applications  where  known  changes  in  capaci-
tance due to applied voltages are acceptable.

X7S  formulations  are  called  “temperature  stable”  ceramics  and  fall
into  EIA Class  II  materials.  Its  temperature  variation  of  capacitance 
is  within  ±22%  from  –55°C  to  +125°C.  This  capacitance  change  is
non-linear.

Capacitance for X7S varies under the influence of electrical operating
conditions such as voltage and frequency.

X7S  dielectric  chip  usage  covers  the  broad  spectrum  of  industrial
applications  where  known  changes  in  capacitance  due  to  applied
voltages are acceptable.

Y5V Dielectric

General Specifications

Y5V  formulations  are  for  general-purpose  use  in  a  limited
temperature range. They have a wide temperature character-
istic  of  +22%  –82%  capacitance  change  over  the  operating
temperature range of –30°C to +85°C.

These characteristics make Y5V ideal for decoupling applica-
tions within limited temperature range.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

AVX  Corporation  has  supported  the  Automotive  Industry  requirements  for
Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors consistently for more than 10 years. Products
have been developed and tested specifically for automotive applications and
all manufacturing facilities are QS9000 and VDA 6.4 approved.

As  part  of  our  sustained  investment  in  capacity  and  state  of  the  art 
technology, we are now transitioning from the established Pd/Ag electrode
system to a Base Metal Electrode system (BME).

AVX  is  using  AECQ200  as  the  qualification  vehicle  for  this  transition.  A
detailed qualification package is available on request and contains results on
a range of part numbers including:

X7R  dielectric  components  containing  BME  electrode  and  copper 
terminations with a Ni/Sn plated overcoat.

X7R dielectric components, BME electrode with epoxy finish for conduc-
tive glue mounting.

X7R  dielectric  components  BME  electrode  and  soft  terminations  with  a
Ni/Sn plated overcoat.

NP0  dielectric  components  containing  Pd/Ag  electrode  and  silver  termi-
nation with a Ni/Sn plated overcoat.

APS Series

APS for COTS+ Applications

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

As  part  of  our  continuing  support  to  high  reliability  customers,  AVX 
has launched an Automotive Plus Series of parts (APS) qualified and manufactured
in  accordance  with  automotive  AEC-Q200  standard.  Each  production  batch  is
quality tested to an enhanced requirement and shipped with a certificate of confor-
mance. On a quarterly basis a reliability package is issued to all APS customers.

A  detailed  qualification  package  is  available  on  request  and  contains  results  on  a
range of part numbers including:

•  X7R  dielectric  components  containing  BME  electrode  and  copper  terminations

with a Ni/Sn plated overcoat.

•  X7R  dielectric  components  BME  electrode  and  soft  terminations  with  a  Ni/Sn

plated overcoat (FLEXITERM™).

•  X7R for Hybrid applications.

•  NP0  dielectric  components  containing  Pd/Ag  electrode  and  silver  termination

with a Ni/Sn plated overcoat.

We are also able to support customers who require an AEC-Q200 grade compo-
nent finished with Tin/Lead.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

With  increased  requirements  from  the  automotive  industry  for  additional
component robustness, AVX recognized the need to produce a MLCC with
enhanced mechanical strength. It was noted that many components may be
subject to severe flexing and vibration when used in various under the hood
automotive and other harsh environment applications.

To  satisfy  the  requirement  for  enhanced  mechanical  strength,  AVX  had  to
find a way of ensuring electrical integrity is maintained whilst external forces
are  being  applied  to  the  component.  It  was  found  that  the  structure  of  the
termination needed to be flexible and after much research and development,
AVX  launched  FLEXITERM™.  FLEXITERM™  is  designed  to  enhance  the
mechanical  flexure  and  temperature  cycling  performance  of  a  standard
ceramic  capacitor  with  an  X7R  dielectric. 

The  industry  standard  for

flexure  is  2mm  minimum.  Using  FLEXITERM™,  AVX  provides  up  to
5mm  of  flexure  without  internal  cracks.  Beyond  5mm,  the  capacitor
will generally fail “open”.

As  well  as  for  automotive  applications  FLEXITERM™  will  provide  Design
Engineers with a satisfactory solution when designing PCB’s which may be
subject to high levels of board flexure.

Capacitor Array

Capacitor Array (IPC)

AVX  capacitor  arrays  offer  designers  the  opportunity  to
lower  placement  costs,  increase  assembly  line  output
through  lower  component  count  per  board  and  to  reduce
real estate requirements.

Reduced Costs

Placement  costs  are  greatly  reduced  by  effectively  placing
one  device  instead  of  four  or  two.  This  results  in  increased
throughput  and  translates  into  savings  on  machine  time.
Inventory  levels  are  lowered  and  further  savings  are  made
on solder materials, etc.

Space Saving

Space  savings  can  be  quite  dramatic  when  compared  to
the  use  of  discrete  chip  capacitors.  As  an  example,  the
0508 4-element array offers a space reduction of >40% vs.
4  x  0402  discrete  capacitors  and  of  >70%  vs.  4  x  0603 
discrete  capacitors.  (This  calculation  is  dependent  on  the
spacing of the discrete components.)

Increased Throughput

Assuming that there are 220 passive components placed in
a mobile phone:

A  reduction  in  the  passive  count  to  200  (by  replacing
discrete  components  with  arrays)  results  in  an  increase  in
throughput of approximately 9%.

A reduction of 40 placements increases throughput by 18%.

For  high  volume  users  of  cap  arrays  using  the  very  latest
placement  equipment  capable  of  placing  10  components
per  second,  the  increase  in  throughput  can  be  very  signifi-
cant and can have the overall effect of reducing the number
of placement machines required to mount components:

If 120 million 2-element arrays or 40 million 4-element arrays 
were  placed  in  a  year,  the  requirement  for  placement 
equipment would be reduced by one machine.

During  a  20Hr  operational  day  a  machine  places  720K 
components. Over a working year of 167 days the machine
can place approximately 120 million. If 2-element arrays are
mounted instead of discrete components, then the number
of  placements  is  reduced  by  a  factor  of  two  and  in  the 
scenario  where  120  million  2-element  arrays  are  placed
there is a saving of one pick and place machine.

Smaller  volume  users  can  also  benefit  from  replacing 
discrete  components  with  arrays.  The  total  number  of
placements  is  reduced  thus  creating  spare  capacity  on
placement machines. This in turn generates the opportunity
to increase overall production output without further invest-
ment in new equipment.

W2A (0508) Capacitor Arrays

The 0508 4-element capacitor array gives a PCB space saving of over 40% 

vs four 0402 discretes and over 70% vs four 0603 discrete capacitors.

W3A (0612) Capacitor Arrays

The 0612 4-element capacitor array gives a PCB space saving of over 50% 

vs four 0603 discretes and over 70% vs four 0805 discrete capacitors.

Capacitor Array

Multi-Value Capacitor Array (IPC)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

A  recent  addition  to  the  array  product  range  is  the  Multi-
Value Capacitor Array. These devices combine two different
capacitance  values  in  standard  ‘Cap  Array’  packages  and
are available with a maximum ratio between the two capaci-
tance  values  of  100:1.  The  multi-value  array  is  currently
available in the 0405 and 0508 2-element styles and also in
the 0612 4-element style.

Whereas to date AVX capacitor arrays have been suited to
applications where multiple capacitors of the same value are
used, the multi-value array introduces a new flexibility to the
range. The multi-value array can replace discrete capacitors
of  different  values  and  can  be  used  for  broadband  decou-
pling  applications.  The  0508  x  2  element  multi-value  array
would  be  particularly  recommended  in  this  application.
Another  application  is  filtering  the  900/1800  or  1900MHz
noise  in  mobile  phones.  The  0405  2-element,  low  capaci-
tance  value  NP0,  (C0G)  device  would  be  suited  to  this 
application,  in  view  of  the  space  saving  requirements  of
mobile phone manufacturers.

ADVANTAGES OF THE MULTI-VALUE
CAPACITOR ARRAYS

Enhanced Performance Due to Reduced Parasitic
Inductance

When connected in parallel, not only do discrete capacitors
of  different  values  give  the  desired  self-resonance,  but  an
additional  unwanted  parallel  resonance  also  results.  This
parallel  resonance  is  induced  between  each  capacitor's
self-resonant  frequencies  and  produces  a  peak  in  imped-
ance  response.  For  decoupling  and  bypassing  applications
this peak will result in a frequency band of reduced decou-
pling and in filtering applications reduced attenuation.

The multi-value capacitor array, combining capacitors in one
unit,  virtually  eliminates  the  problematic  parallel  resonance,
by  minimizing  parasitic  inductance  between  the  capacitors,
thus  enhancing  the  broadband  decoupling/filtering  perfor-
mance of the part.

Reduced ESR

An  advantage  of  connecting  two  capacitors  in  parallel  is  a
significant  reduction  in  ESR.  However,  as  stated  above,
using discrete components brings with it the unwanted side
effect  of  parallel  resonance.  The  multi-value  cap  array  is 
an  excellent  alternative  as  not  only  does  it  perform  the 
same function as parallel capacitors but also it reduces the
uncertainty of the frequency response.

Low Inductance Capacitors

Introduction

As switching speeds increase and pulse rise times decrease
the need to reduce inductance becomes a serious limitation
for  improved  system  performance.  Even  the  decoupling
capacitors, that act as a local energy source, can generate
unacceptable  voltage  spikes:  V  =  L  (di/dt).  Thus,  in  high
speed circuits, where di/dt can be quite large, the size of the
voltage spike can only be reduced by reducing L.

Figure 1 displays the evolution of ceramic capacitor toward
lower  inductance  designs  over  the  last  few  years.  AVX  has
been at the forefront in the design and manufacture of these
newer more effective capacitors.

LOW INDUCTANCE CHIP CAPACITORS

The total inductance of a chip capacitor is determined both
by  its  length  to  width  ratio  and  by  the  mutual  inductance
coupling between its electrodes. Thus a 1210 chip size has
lower  inductance  than  a  1206  chip.  This  design  improve-
ment is the basis of AVX’s low inductance chip capacitors, LI
Caps, where the electrodes are terminated on the long side
of the chip instead of the short side. The 1206 becomes an
0612 as demonstrated in Figure 2. In the same manner, an
0805 becomes an 0508 and 0603 becomes an 0306. This
results  in  a  reduction  in  inductance  from  around  1200  pH 
for  conventional  MLC  chips  to  below  200  pH  for  Low
Inductance Chip Capacitors. Standard designs and perfor-
mance of these LI Caps are given on pages 55 and 56.

LOW INDUCTANCE CHIP ARRAYS (LICA

®

)

Further reduction in inductance can be achieved by designing
alternative current paths to minimize the mutual inductance
factor of the electrodes (Figure 3). This is achieved by AVX’s
LICA

®

product which was the result of a joint development

between AVX and IBM. As shown in Figure 4, the charging
current flowing out of the positive plate returns in the opposite
direction along adjacent negative plates. This minimizes the
mutual inductance.

The very low inductance of the LICA capacitor stems from
the short aspect ratio of the electrodes, the arrangement of
the tabs so as to cancel inductance, and the vertical aspect
of the electrodes to the mounting surface.

Figure 3. Net Inductance from design. In the

standard Multilayer capacitor, the charge currents

entering and leaving the capacitor create complementary

flux fields, so the net inductance is greater. On the right,

however, if the design permits the currents

to be opposed, there is a net cancellation, and the

inductance is much lower.

INTERDIGITATED CAPACITORS

Multiple terminations of a capacitor will also help in reducing
the  parasitic  inductance  of  the  device.  The  IDC  is  such  a
device. By terminating one capacitor with 8 connections the
ESL can be reduced even further. The measured inductance
of the 0612 IDC is 60 pH, while the 0508 comes in around
50 pH. These FR4 mountable devices allow for even higher
clock  speeds  in  a  digital  decoupling  scheme.  Design  and
product offerings are shown on pages 59 and 60.

Low Inductance Capacitors

Introduction

Figure 4. LICA’s Electrode/Termination Construction.

The current path is minimized – this reduces self-inductance.

Current flowing out of the positive plate, returns in the

opposite direction along the adjacent negative plate –

this reduces the mutual inductance.

Also the effective current path length is minimized because
the current does not have to travel the entire length of both
electrodes  to  complete  the  circuit.  This  reduces  the  self
inductance of the electrodes. The self inductance is also min-
imized  by  the  fact  that  the  charging  current  is  supplied  by
both sets of terminals reducing the path length even further!

The  inductance  of  this  arrangement  is  less  than  30  pH,
causing  the  self-resonance  to  be  above  100  MHz  for  the
same  popular  100  nF  capacitance.  Parts  available  in  the
LICA design are shown on pages 60 and 61.

Figure 5 compares the self resonant frequencies of various
capacitor designs versus capacitance values. The approxi-
mate inductance of each style is also shown.

Active  development  continues  on  low  inductance

capacitors.  C4  termination  with  low  temperature  solder 
is  now  available  for  plastic  packages.  Consult  AVX 
for details.

the 1nH range found in normal chip capacitors to less than 0.2nH
for LICCs. Their low profile is also ideal for surface mounting (both
on  the  PCB  and  on  IC  package)  or  inside  cavity  mounting  on  the 
IC itself.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

• Very  low  equivalent  series  inductance  (ESL),  surface  mountable,

high speed decoupling capacitor in 0612 and 0508 case size.

• Measured inductances of 60 pH (for 0612) and 50 pH (for 0508)

are the lowest in the FR4 mountable device family. Now use 10T
devices  with  inductances  of  45  pH  (for  0612)  and  35  pH  (for
0508).

• Opposing  current  flow  creates  opposing  magnetic  fields.  This

causes  the  fields  to  cancel,  effectively  reducing  the  equivalent
series inductance.

• Perfect  solution  for  decoupling  high  speed  microprocessors  by

allowing the engineers to lower the power delivery inductance of
the entire system through the use of eight vias.

• Overall  reduction  in  decoupling  components  due  to  very  low

series inductance and high capacitance.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

AVX will support those customers who desire commercial and military type ceramic capacitors
with a new series consisting of a termination with a 5% minimum lead content. This new series
is AVX’s “LD” series incorporating a “B” in the 12th position of the AVX Catalog Part Number.
This fulfills AVX’s commitment to providing a full range of products.

• Very  low  equivalent  series  inductance  (ESL),  surface  mountable,  high  speed  decoupling

capacitor in 0612 and 0508 case size.

High value, low leakage and small size are difficult parameters to obtain
in  capacitors  for  high  voltage  systems.  AVX  special  high  voltage  MLC
chip  capacitors  meet  these  performance  characteristics  and  are
designed  for  applications  such  as  snubbers  in  high  frequency  power
converters, resonators in SMPS, and high voltage coupling/dc blocking.
These high voltage chip designs exhibit low ESRs at high frequencies.

Larger physical sizes than normally encountered chips are used to make
high voltage MLC chip products. Special precautions must be taken in
applying  these  chips  in  surface  mount  assemblies.  The  temperature 
gradient  during  heating  or  cooling  cycles  should  not  exceed  4ºC  per
second. The preheat temperature must be within 50ºC of the peak tem-
perature reached by the ceramic bodies through the soldering process.
Chip  sizes  1210  and  larger  should  be  reflow  soldered  only.  Capacitors
may require protective surface coating to prevent external arcing.

AVX Corporation will support those customers for commercial and mili-
tary  Multilayer  Ceramic  Capacitors  with  a  termination  consisting  of  5%
minimum  lead.  This  termination  is  indicated  by  the  use  of  a  “B”  in  the
12th  position  of  the  AVX  Catalog  Part  Number.  This  fulfills  AVX’s 
commitment to providing a full range of products to our customers. AVX
has  provided  in  the  following  pages,  a  full  range  of  values  that  we  are
offering in this “B” termination.

Larger physical sizes than normally encountered chips are used to make
high  voltage  MLC  chip  product.  Special  precautions  must  be  taken  in
applying  these  chips  in  surface  mount  assemblies.  The  temperature 
gradient  during  heating  or  cooling  cycles  should  not  exceed  4ºC  per
second. The preheat temperature must be within 50ºC of the peak tem-
perature reached by the ceramic bodies through the soldering process.
Chip  sizes  1210  and  larger  should  be  reflow  soldered  only.  Capacitors
may require protective surface coating to prevent external arcing.

General Description

Formulations – 

Multilayer ceramic capacitors are available

in  both  Class  1  and  Class  2  formulations.  Temperature
compensating  formulation  are  Class  1  and  temperature 
stable  and  general  application  formulations  are  classified 
as Class 2.

Class 1 – 

Class 1 capacitors or temperature compensating

capacitors  are  usually  made  from  mixtures  of  titanates
where  barium  titanate  is  normally  not  a  major  part  of  the
mix.  They  have  predictable  temperature  coefficients  and 
in  general,  do  not  have  an  aging  characteristic.  Thus  they
are  the  most  stable  capacitor  available.  The  most  popular
Class  1  multilayer  ceramic  capacitors  are  C0G  (NP0) 
temperature  compensating  capacitors  (negative-positive 
0 ppm/°C).

Class 2 –

EIA Class 2 capacitors typically are based on the

chemistry  of  barium  titanate  and  provide  a  wide  range  of
capacitance  values  and  temperature  stability.  The  most
commonly  used  Class  2  dielectrics  are  X7R  and  Y5V.  The
X7R  provides  intermediate  capacitance  values  which  vary
only ±15% over the temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. It
finds  applications  where  stability  over  a  wide  temperature
range is required.

The  Y5V  provides  the  highest  capacitance  values  and  is
used in applications where limited temperature changes are
expected.  The  capacitance  value  for  Y5V  can  vary  from
22% to -82% over the -30°C to 85°C temperature range.

All  Class  2  capacitors  vary  in  capacitance  value  under  the
influence  of  temperature,  operating  voltage  (both  AC  and
DC),  and  frequency.  For  additional  information  on  perfor-
mance  changes  with  operating  conditions,  consult  AVX’s
software, SpiCap.

Basic  Construction  – 

A  multilayer  ceramic  (MLC)  capaci-

tor  is  a  monolithic  block  of  ceramic  containing  two  sets  of
offset,  interleaved  planar  electrodes  that  extend  to  two
opposite  surfaces  of  the  ceramic  dielectric.  This  simple

structure  requires  a  considerable  amount  of  sophistication,
both in material and manufacture, to produce it in the quality
and quantities needed in today’s electronic equipment.

In specifying capacitance change with temperature for Class
2 materials, EIA expresses the capacitance change over an
operating  temperature  range  by  a  3  symbol  code.  The  first
symbol represents the cold temperature end of the temper-
ature  range,  the  second  represents  the  upper  limit  of  the
operating  temperature  range  and  the  third  symbol  repre-
sents  the  capacitance  change  allowed  over  the 
operating  temperature  range.  Table  1  provides  a  detailed
explanation of the EIA system.

Effects  of  Voltage  – 

Variations  in  voltage  have  little  effect

on  Class  1  dielectric  but  does  affect  the  capacitance  and
dissipation  factor  of  Class  2  dielectrics.  The  application  of
DC  voltage  reduces  both  the  capacitance  and  dissipation
factor  while  the  application  of  an  AC  voltage  within  a 
reasonable  range  tends  to  increase  both  capacitance  and
dissipation  factor  readings.  If  a  high  enough  AC  voltage  is
applied,  eventually  it  will  reduce  capacitance  just  as  a  DC
voltage will.  Figure 2 shows the effects of AC voltage.

Capacitor specifications specify the AC voltage at which to
measure  (normally  0.5  or  1  VAC)  and  application  of  the
wrong voltage can cause spurious readings. Figure 3 gives
the  voltage  coefficient  of  dissipation  factor  for  various  AC
voltages  at  1  kilohertz.  Applications  of  different  frequencies
will affect the percentage changes versus voltages.

Typical  effect  of  the  application  of  DC  voltage  is  shown  in
Figure  4.  The  voltage  coefficient  is  more  pronounced  for
higher K dielectrics. These figures are shown for room tem-
perature  conditions.  The  combination  characteristic  known
as  voltage  temperature  limits  which  shows  the  effects  of
rated  voltage  over  the  operating  temperature  range  is
shown in Figure 5 for the military BX characteristic.

Effects  of  Time  – 

Class  2  ceramic  capacitors  change

capacitance and dissipation factor with time as well as tem-
perature,  voltage  and  frequency.  This  change  with  time  is
known as aging. Aging is caused by a gradual re-alignment
of  the  crystalline  structure  of  the  ceramic  and  produces  an
exponential loss in capacitance and decrease in dissipation
factor  versus  time.  A  typical  curve  of  aging  rate  for  semi-
stable ceramics is shown in Figure 6.

If  a  Class  2  ceramic  capacitor  that  has  been  sitting  on  the
shelf  for  a  period  of  time,  is  heated  above  its  curie  point,
(125°C  for  4  hours  or  150°C  for 

1

2

hour  will  suffice)  the  part

will  de-age  and  return  to  its  initial  capacitance  and  dissi-
pation  factor  readings.  Because  the  capacitance  changes 
rapidly,  immediately  after  de-aging,  the  basic  capacitance 
measurements  are  normally  referred  to  a  time  period  some-
time  after  the  de-aging  process.  Various  manufacturers  use
different  time  bases  but  the  most  popular  one  is  one  day 
or  twenty-four  hours  after  “last  heat.”  Change  in  the  aging
curve  can  be  caused  by  the  application  of  voltage  and 
other  stresses.  The  possible  changes  in  capacitance  due  to
de-aging  by  heating  the  unit  explain  why  capacitance
changes are allowed after test, such as temperature cycling,
moisture  resistance,  etc.,  in  MIL  specs.  The  application  of
high  voltages  such  as  dielectric  withstanding  voltages  also

tends to de-age capacitors and is why re-reading of capaci-
tance  after  12  or  24  hours  is  allowed  in  military  specifica-
tions after dielectric strength tests have been performed.

Effects  of  Frequency  – 

Frequency  affects  capacitance

and  impedance  characteristics  of  capacitors.  This  effect  is
much more pronounced in high dielectric constant ceramic
formulation  than  in  low  K  formulations.  AVX’s  SpiCap  soft-
ware  generates  impedance,  ESR,  series  inductance,  series
resonant  frequency  and  capacitance  all  as  functions  of 
frequency, temperature and DC bias for standard chip sizes
and  styles.  It  is  available  free  from  AVX  and  can  be  down-
loaded for free from AVX website: www.avx.com.

Effects  of  Mechanical  Stress  – 

High  “K”  dielectric

ceramic  capacitors  exhibit  some  low  level  piezoelectric
reactions under mechanical stress. As a general statement,
the  piezoelectric  output  is  higher,  the  higher  the  dielectric
constant  of  the  ceramic.  It  is  desirable  to  investigate  this
effect before using high “K” dielectrics as coupling capaci-
tors in extremely low level applications.

Reliability – 

Historically ceramic capacitors have been one

of  the  most  reliable  types  of  capacitors  in  use  today. 
The  approximate  formula  for  the  reliability  of  a  ceramic
capacitor is:

L

X,Y

= see text

Historically  for  ceramic  capacitors  exponent  X  has  been
considered  as  3.  The  exponent  Y  for  temperature  effects
typically tends to run about 8.

A  capacitor  is  a  component  which  is  capable  of  storing
electrical energy. It consists of two conductive plates (elec-
trodes) separated by insulating material which is called the
dielectric. A typical formula for determining capacitance is:

C = 

.224 KA

t

C

= capacitance (picofarads)

K

= dielectric constant (Vacuum = 1)

A

= area in square inches

t

= separation between the plates in inches 

(thickness of dielectric)

.224

= conversion constant 

(.0884 for metric system in cm)

Capacitance  – 

The  standard  unit  of  capacitance  is  the

farad.  A  capacitor  has  a  capacitance  of  1  farad  when  1
coulomb charges it to 1 volt. One farad is a very large unit
and  most  capacitors  have  values  in  the  micro  (10

-6

),  nano

(10

-9

) or pico (10

-12

) farad level.

Dielectric Constant –

In the formula for capacitance given

above the dielectric constant of a vacuum is arbitrarily cho-
sen as the number 1. Dielectric constants of other materials
are then compared to the dielectric constant of a vacuum.

Dielectric  Thickness  – 

Capacitance  is  indirectly  propor-

tional to the separation between electrodes. Lower voltage
requirements  mean  thinner  dielectrics  and  greater  capaci-
tance per volume.

Area  – 

Capacitance  is  directly  proportional  to  the  area  of

the electrodes. Since the other variables in the equation are
usually set by the performance desired, area is the easiest
parameter to modify to obtain a specific capacitance within
a material group.

Energy  Stored  – 

The  energy  which  can  be  stored  in  a

capacitor is given by the formula:

E

1

2

CV

2

E

= energy in joules (watts-sec)

V

= applied voltage

C

= capacitance in farads

Potential  Change  – 

A  capacitor  is  a  reactive  component

which reacts against a change in potential across it. This is
shown by the equation for the linear charge of a capacitor:

I

ideal

dV

dt

where

I

= Current

C

= Capacitance

dV/dt

= Slope of voltage transition across capacitor

Thus  an  infinite  current  would  be  required  to  instantly
change  the  potential  across  a  capacitor.  The  amount  of
current  a  capacitor  can  “sink”  is  determined  by  the  above
equation.

Equivalent  Circuit  –

A  capacitor,  as  a  practical  device,

exhibits  not  only  capacitance  but  also  resistance  and
inductance. A simplified schematic for the equivalent circuit
is:

C

= Capacitance

= Inductance 

R

s

= Series Resistance

R

p

= Parallel Resistance 

Reactance – 

Since the insulation resistance (R

p

) is normal-

ly very high, the total impedance of a capacitor is:

Z =

R

2
S

+ (X

- X

)

where

Z

= Series Resistance

X

The  variation  of  a  capacitor’s  impedance  with  frequency
determines its effectiveness in many applications.

Phase  Angle  – 

Power  Factor  and  Dissipation  Factor  are

often confused since they are both measures of the loss in
a  capacitor  under  AC  application  and  are  often  almost
identical in value. In a “perfect” capacitor the current in the
capacitor will lead the voltage by 90°.

General Description

In  practice  the  current  leads  the  voltage  by  some  other
phase  angle  due  to  the  series  resistance  R

S

.  The  comple-

ment of this angle is called the loss angle and:

Power Factor (P.F.) = Cos 

f

or Sine

Dissipation Factor (D.F.) = tan 

for  small  values  of 

the  tan  and  sine  are  essentially  equal

which  has  led  to  the  common  interchangeability  of  the  two
terms in the industry.

Equivalent  Series  Resistance  – 

The  term  E.S.R.  or

Equivalent  Series  Resistance  combines  all  losses  both
series  and  parallel  in  a  capacitor  at  a  given  frequency  so
that the equivalent circuit is reduced to a simple R-C series
connection.

Dissipation  Factor  – 

The  DF/PF  of  a  capacitor  tells  what

percent of the apparent power input will turn to heat in the
capacitor.

Very low values of dissipation factor are expressed as their
reciprocal  for  convenience.  These  are  called  the  “Q”  or
Quality factor of capacitors.

Parasitic Inductance –

The parasitic inductance of capac-

itors  is  becoming  more  and  more  important  in  the  decou-
pling of today’s high speed digital systems. The relationship
between  the  inductance  and  the  ripple  voltage  induced  on
the DC voltage line can be seen from the simple inductance
equation:

V = L 

di 

dt

The

seen in current microprocessors can be as high as

0.3 A/ns, and up to 10A/ns. At 0.3 A/ns, 100pH of parasitic
inductance  can  cause  a  voltage  spike  of  30mV.  While  this
does not sound very drastic, with the Vcc for microproces-
sors decreasing at the current rate, this can be a fairly large
percentage.
Another  important,  often  overlooked,  reason  for  knowing
the  parasitic  inductance  is  the  calculation  of  the  resonant
frequency.  This  can  be  important  for  high  frequency,  by-
pass  capacitors,  as  the  resonant  point  will  give  the  most
signal  attenuation.  The  resonant  frequency  is  calculated
from the simple equation:

f

res 

=        1

LC

Insulation  Resistance  – 

Insulation  Resistance  is  the 

resistance  measured  across  the  terminals  of  a  capacitor
and consists principally of the parallel resistance R

P

shown

in  the  equivalent  circuit.  As  capacitance  values  and  hence
the  area  of  dielectric  increases,  the  I.R.  decreases  and
hence  the  product  (C  x  IR  or  RC)  is  often  specified  in  ohm
farads  or  more  commonly  megohm-microfarads.  Leakage
current  is  determined  by  dividing  the  rated  voltage  by  IR
(Ohm’s Law).

Dielectric  Strength  – 

Dielectric  Strength  is  an  expression

of  the  ability  of  a  material  to  withstand  an  electrical  stress.
Although dielectric strength is ordinarily expressed in volts, it
is actually dependent on the thickness of the dielectric and
thus is also more generically a function of volts/mil.

Dielectric  Absorption  – 

A  capacitor  does  not  discharge

instantaneously  upon  application  of  a  short  circuit,  but
drains gradually after the capacitance proper has been dis-
charged.  It  is  common  practice  to  measure  the  dielectric
absorption  by  determining  the  “reappearing  voltage”  which
appears across a capacitor at some point in time after it has
been fully discharged under short circuit conditions.

Corona  – 

Corona  is  the  ionization  of  air  or  other  vapors

which  causes  them  to  conduct  current.  It  is  especially
prevalent in high voltage units but can occur with low voltages
as  well  where  high  voltage  gradients  occur.  The  energy
discharged degrades the performance of the capacitor and
can in time cause catastrophic failures.

reflow soldering. Pad designs are given below for the most
common  sizes  of  multilayer  ceramic  capacitors  for  both

• Pad  width  equal  to  component  width.  It  is  permissible  to

decrease this to as low as 85% of component width but it
is not advisable to go below this.

• Pad overlap 0.5mm beneath component.

• Pad extension 0.5mm beyond components for reflow and

REFLOW SOLDERING

WAVE SOLDERING

Component Spacing

For wave soldering components, must be spaced sufficiently
far  apart  to  avoid  bridging  or  shadowing  (inability  of  solder
to penetrate properly into small spaces). This is less impor-
tant  for  reflow  soldering  but  sufficient  space  must  be
allowed to enable rework should it be required.

Preheat & Soldering

The  rate  of  preheat  should  not  exceed  4°C/second  to 
prevent  thermal  shock.  A  better  maximum  figure  is  about
2°C/second.

For  capacitors  size  1206  and  below,  with  a  maximum 
thickness  of  1.25mm,  it  is  generally  permissible  to  allow  a
temperature differential from preheat to soldering of 150°C.
In all other cases this differential should not exceed 100°C.

For  further  specific  application  or  process  advice,  please
consult AVX.

Cleaning

Care  should  be  taken  to  ensure  that  the  capacitors  are
thoroughly  cleaned  of  flux  residues  especially  the  space
beneath  the  capacitor.  Such  residues  may  otherwise
become  conductive  and  effectively  offer  a  low  resistance
bypass to the capacitor.

Ultrasonic  cleaning  is  permissible,  the  recommended 
conditions being 8 Watts/litre at 20-45 kHz, with a process
cycle  of  2  minutes  vapor  rinse,  2  minutes  immersion  in  the
ultrasonic solvent bath and finally 2 minutes vapor rinse.

WAVE SOLDER PROFILES

For  wave  solder,  there  is  no  change  in  the  recommended
wave profile; all standard Pb-Free (SnCu/SnCuAg) systems
operate  at  the  same  260ºC  max  recommended  for  SnPb
systems.    

Preheat:

This  is  more  important  for  wave  solder;  a  higher  tempera-
ture  preheat  will  reduce  the  thermal  shock  to  SMD  parts
that  are  immersed  (please  consult  individual  product  data
sheets for SMD parts that are suited to wave solder). SMD
parts should ideally be heated from the bottom-Side prior to
wave.  PTH  (Pin  through  hole)  parts  on  the  topside  should
not be separately heated.

Wave:

250ºC – 260ºC recommended for optimum solderability.

Cool Down:

As with reflow solder, cool down should not be forced and
6ºC/sec  is  recommended.  Any  air  knives  at  the  end  of  the
2nd wave should be heated.

Preheat:

The  pre-heat  stabilizes  the  part  and  reduces  the  tempera-
ture differential prior to reflow. The initial ramp to 125ºC may
be  rapid,  but  from  that  point  (2-3)ºC/sec  is  recommended
to  allow  ceramic  parts  to  heat  uniformly  and  plastic 
encapsulated  parts  to  stabilize  through  the  glass  transition
temperature of the body (~ 180ºC).

Reflow:

In  the  reflow  phase,  the  maximum  recommended  time 
>  230ºC  is  40secs.  Time  at  peak  reflow  is  10secs  max.;
optimum reflow is achieved at 250ºC, (see wetting balance
chart  opposite)  but  products  are  qualified  to  260ºC  max.
Please  reference  individual  product  datasheets  for 
maximum limits

Cool Down:

Cool  down  should  not  be  forced  and  6ºC/sec  is  recom-
mended.  A  slow  cool  down  will  result  in  a  finer  grain 
structure of the reflow solder in the solder fillet.

IMPORTANT  NOTE:  Typical  Pb-Free  reflow  solders  have  a
more  dull  and  grainy  appearance  compared  to  traditional
SnPb. Elevating the reflow temperature will not change this,
but  extending  the  cool  down  can  help  improve  the  visual
appearance of the joint.

APPLICATION NOTES

Storage

Good solderability is maintained for at least twelve months,
provided  the  components  are  stored  in  their  “as  received”
packaging at less than 40°C and 70% RH.

Solderability

Terminations to be well soldered after immersion in a 60/40
tin/lead solder bath at 235 ± 5°C for 2 ± 1 seconds.

Leaching

Terminations  will  resist  leaching  for  at  least  the  immersion
times and conditions shown below.

Lead-Free Wave Soldering

The  recommended  peak  temperature  for  lead-free  wave 
soldering  is  250°C-260°C  for  3-5  seconds.  The  other  para-
meters of the profile remains the same as above.

The following should be noted by customers changing from
lead based systems to the new lead free pastes.

a) The  visual  standards  used  for  evaluation  of  solder  joints

will  need  to  be  modified  as  lead  free  joints  are  not  as
bright as with tin-lead pastes and the fillet may not be as
large.

b) Lead-free solder pastes do not allow the same self align-

ment  as  lead  containing  systems.  Standard  mounting
pads are acceptable, but machine set up may need to be
modified.

General

Surface  mounting  chip  multilayer  ceramic  capacitors 
are designed for soldering to printed circuit boards or other
substrates. The construction of the components is such that
they will withstand the time/temperature profiles used in both
wave and reflow soldering methods.

Handling

Chip  multilayer  ceramic  capacitors  should  be  handled  with
care  to  avoid  damage  or  contamination  from  perspiration
and  skin  oils.  The  use  of  tweezers  or  vacuum  pick  ups 
is  strongly  recommended  for  individual  components.  Bulk
handling should ensure that abrasion and mechanical shock

are  minimized.  Taped  and  reeled  components  provides  the
ideal  medium  for  direct  presentation  to  the  placement
machine. Any mechanical shock should be minimized during
handling chip multilayer ceramic capacitors.

Preheat

It is important to avoid the possibility of thermal shock during
soldering  and  carefully  controlled  preheat  is  therefore
required. The rate of preheat should not exceed 4°C/second
and  a  target  figure  2°C/second  is  recommended.  Although
an  80°C  to  120°C  temperature  differential  is  preferred,
recent  developments  allow  a  temperature  differential
between  the  component  surface  and  the  soldering  temper-
ature  of  150°C  (Maximum)  for  capacitors  of  1210  size  and
below  with  a  maximum  thickness  of  1.25mm.  The  user  is
cautioned  that  the  risk  of  thermal  shock  increases  as  chip
size or temperature differential increases.

Soldering

Mildly  activated  rosin  fluxes  are  preferred.  The  minimum
amount  of  solder  to  give  a  good  joint  should  be  used.
Excessive  solder  can  lead  to  damage  from  the  stresses
caused  by  the  difference  in  coefficients  of  expansion
between  solder,  chip  and  substrate.  AVX  terminations  are
suitable  for  all  wave  and  reflow  soldering  systems.  If  hand
soldering  cannot  be  avoided,  the  preferred  technique  is  the
utilization of hot air soldering tools.

Cooling

Natural cooling in air is preferred, as this minimizes stresses
within  the  soldered  joint.  When  forced  air  cooling  is  used,
cooling  rate  should  not  exceed  4°C/second.  Quenching 
is  not  recommended  but  if  used,  maximum  temperature 
differentials  should  be  observed  according  to  the  preheat 
conditions above.

Cleaning

Flux  residues  may  be  hygroscopic  or  acidic  and  must  be
removed.  AVX  MLC  capacitors  are  acceptable  for  use  with
all  of  the  solvents  described  in  the  specifications  MIL-STD-
202 and EIA-RS-198. Alcohol based solvents are acceptable
and  properly  controlled  water  cleaning  systems  are  also
acceptable. Many other solvents have been proven successful,
and most solvents that are acceptable to other components
on  circuit  assemblies  are  equally  acceptable  for  use  with
ceramic capacitors.

POST SOLDER HANDLING

Once  SMP  components  are  soldered  to  the  board,  any
bending  or  flexure  of  the  PCB  applies  stresses  to  the  sol-
dered  joints  of  the  components.  For  leaded  devices,  the
stresses are absorbed by the compliancy of the metal leads
and  generally  don’t  result  in  problems  unless  the  stress  is
large enough to fracture the soldered connection.

Ceramic  capacitors  are  more  susceptible  to  such  stress
because  they  don’t  have  compliant  leads  and  are  brittle  in
nature. The most frequent failure mode is low DC resistance
or  short  circuit.  The  second  failure  mode  is  significant  loss
of  capacitance  due  to  severing  of  contact  between  sets  of
the internal electrodes.

Cracks caused by mechanical flexure are very easily identi-
fied  and  generally  take  one  of  the  following  two  general
forms:

Mechanical  cracks  are  often  hidden  underneath  the  termi-
nation and are difficult to see externally. However, if one end
termination  falls  off  during  the  removal  process  from  PCB,
this is one indication that the cause of failure was excessive
mechanical stress due to board warping.

Type A: 

Angled crack between bottom of device to top of solder joint.

Type B: 

Fracture from top of device to bottom of device.

PCB BOARD DESIGN

To  avoid  many  of  the  handling  problems,  AVX  recommends  that  MLCs  be  located  at  least  .2"  away  from  nearest  edge  of
board. However when this is not possible, AVX recommends that the panel be routed along the cut line, adjacent to where the
MLC is located.

COMMON CAUSES OF 
MECHANICAL CRACKING

The  most  common  source  for  mechanical  stress  is  board
depanelization  equipment,  such  as  manual  breakapart,  v-
cutters and shear presses. Improperly aligned or dull cutters
may  cause  torqueing  of  the  PCB  resulting  in  flex  stresses
being  transmitted  to  components  near  the  board  edge.
Another common source of flexural stress is contact during
parametric testing when test points are probed. If the PCB
is  allowed  to  flex  during  the  test  cycle,  nearby  ceramic
capacitors may be broken.

A  third  common  source  is  board  to  board  connections  at
vertical  connectors  where  cables  or  other  PCBs  are  con-
nected to the PCB. If the board is not supported during the
plug/unplug cycle, it may flex and cause damage to nearby
components.

Special care should also be taken when handling large (>6"
on  a  side)  PCBs  since  they  more  easily  flex  or  warp  than
smaller boards.

REWORKING OF MLCs

Thermal  shock  is  common  in  MLCs  that  are  manually
attached  or  reworked  with  a  soldering  iron. 

AVX  strongly

recommends that any reworking of MLCs be done with hot
air reflow rather than soldering irons.

It is practically impossi-

ble to cause any thermal shock in ceramic capacitors when
using hot air reflow.

However direct contact by the soldering iron tip often caus-
es thermal cracks that may fail at a later date. If rework by
soldering  iron  is  absolutely  necessary,  it  is  recommended
that  the  wattage  of  the  iron  be  less  than  30  watts  and  the
tip  temperature  be  <300ºC. 

Rework  should  be  performed

by  applying  the  solder  iron  tip  to  the  pad  and  not  directly
contacting any part of the ceramic capacitor.
