New MLCCs offer world’s highest capacitance —
4.7µF in 0201 case size and 0.47µF in 01005 case size
Kyocera Corporation (NYSE:KYO)(TOKYO:6971) today announced that
it has developed multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) with
industry-leading capacitance for use in telecommunication equipment
including smartphones. The new 4.7μF MLCC in a 0201 case size and
the 0.47μF MLCC in a 01005 case size deliver double the capacitance
of the conventional 0201 and 01005 MLCCs while maintaining the same
sizes enabling greater device functionality in a smaller space.
Both will be available on a sample basis in October 2016.

Development Background
With the development of highly functional and multiband
telecommunications equipment including smartphones which require
higher capacitance of MLCCs, the number of MLCCs equipped in a
device is increasing year by year. Especially in smartphones, where
demand for higher functionality and longer battery life keeps
rising, manufacturers must install a greater number of components
without reducing battery space. As a result, engineers are
demanding higher capacitance from MLCCs in the 0201 and 01005 case
sizes, which are widely utilized in these devices. The
proliferation of IoT (Internet of Things) devices is also
accelerating this trend.
Product Features
With more than doubled the capacitance of the conventional 0201
and 01005 sizes, these cutting-edge MLCCs enable customers to
reduce the number of components equipped in a device and reduce
space which contributes to downsizing of devices and enhancing
functionality. Kyocera achieved the world’s highest capacitance*
for these sizes of MLCCs through a stable multilayer structure made
by reducing the thickness of the dielectric material using
Kyocera’s nanomaterial technology and highly accurate processing
technology. Kyocera will continue to expand its business by
developing MLCCs with high capacitance for highly reliable
devices.
