Multilayer ceramic chip capacitors are manufactured by integrating a variety of core technologies. Techniques for making the dielectric and internal electrode sheets thinner are especially key to miniaturization and achieving higher capacitance.
Significant advances have been achieved in the manufacturing technology of high volumetric multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCs) comprised of hundreds of dielectric layers less than 3 μm in thickness. A capacitor consists of a BaTiO 3 -based X7R ceramic and nickel internal electrodes.

Vishay Multilayer Ceramic Chip high voltage Capacitors feature surface-mount packaging, multilayer design, small size, and no voltage or temperature dependence for medical applications.
There are two types of multilayer ceramic chip capacitors: low (Class I) and high (Class II) dielectric constant types, differentiated by their temperature characteristics.
Consequently, multilayer ceramic chip capacitors require advanced nanotechnologies. TDK has achieved the utmost in thinness by embracing technologies to micronize and disperse dielectric and nickel particles that form the internal electrodes at nanometer scales. Dielectric sheets are thin, brittle, and easily fractured.
