Chip capacitor makers target releases in scaled-down package sizes

摘要

Chip capacitor development and manufacture in China will remain focused on miniaturization, spurred by this strong trend in various electronics, especially mobile devices. Suppliers are aiming for smaller packages such as 0201 and 01005 to widen their selections dominated by 0402, 0603 and 0805 types. They are leveraging wide use of the component because of its advantages not only of small size but also of high capacity, Q value, thermal resistance and reliability. Large companies spearhead initiatives for R&D and production, which are expected to gatherfollowing. This is as demand rises for such variants, especially 01005 capacitors, in smartphones and wearable devices.
