Multi-Layer Organic Capacitors Based on its patented multilayer low loss organic (MLOTM) technology. These new capacitors represent a paradigm shift from traditional ceramic and thin film passive SMD components. Multilayer Organic Capacitors (MLOC) are polymer based capacitors that use high conductivity copper interconnects in a multilayer fashion. The ability to fabricate these components on large area substrates and state of the art laser direct imaging allow for improved cost benefits and tolerance control. The end result is a state of the art low ESR and high SRF low profile RF capacitor that can support frequencies well above one GHz. Additionally MLOCs are expansion matched to printed circuit boards to allow for improved reliability.

QUALITY ASSURANCE FINAL QUALITY INSPECTION 6 Finished parts are tested for standard electrical parameters and visual/mechanical characteristics. Each production lot is 100% evaluated for: capacitance and proof voltage at 2.5 UR. In addition, production is periodically evaluated for: • Average capacitance with histogram printout for capacitance distribution; • IR and Breakdown Voltage distribution; • Temperature Coefficient; The reliability of these multilayer organic capacitors has been extensively studied. Various methods and standards have been used to ensure a high quality component including JEDEC, Mil Spec and IPC testing. AVX’s quality assurance policy is based on well established international industry standards. The reliability of the capacitors is determined by accelerated testing under the following conditions: Life (Endurance) Accelerated Damp Heat Steady State 125°C, 2UR, 1000 hours 85°C, 85% RH, UR, 1000 hours.
