Multi-layer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC for short) is one of the main passive chip components in electronic complete machines. It was born in the 1960s. It was first developed by American companies and later developed by Japanese companies (such as Murata, TDK, and Taiyo).The rapid development and industrialization of Yuden, etc., has still maintained its advantages in the global MLCC field.
The main performance is that the production of MLCC has high reliability, high precision, high integration, high frequency, intelligence, low power consumption, large capacity, and miniaturization. And low cost.
MLCC, is a ceramic dielectric film with printed electrodes (internal electrodes) stacked in a staggered manner. After a one-time high-temperature sintering to form a ceramic chip, the two ends of the chip are sealed with a metal layer (outer Electrode) to form a monolithic structure, so it is also called monolithic capacitor.
In addition to the general characteristics of capacitors, MLCCs have the characteristics of "passing through and passing through", they also have the characteristics of small size, large specific capacity, long life, high reliability, and suitable for surface mounting.
With the rapid development of the world's electronics industry, as the basic components of the electronics industry, chip capacitors are also advancing at an astonishing speed, increasing at an annual rate of 10% to 15%. At present, the world's demand for chip capacitors is more than 200 billion, 70% of which are from Japan (such as MLCC major factory Murata ), followed by Europe, America, and Southeast Asia.
With the improvement of the reliability and integration of chip-capacity products, the scope of its use becomes wider and wider
The downstream applications of the industry mainly come from:
Optical fiber connectors: The construction of base stations and data centers in the 5G era has spawned incremental demand for optical fiber ceramic ferrules.
Consumer electronics innovation, 5G base station construction and automotive electronics have brought an increase in MLCC usage.
Ceramic package bases are used in the field of semiconductor packaging. In the future, it is expected to continue to benefit from the increased demand for quartz crystal oscillators and SAW filters in the 5G era.
Ceramic mobile phone back covers can solve the signal shielding problem of metal mobile phone back covers caused by the use of MIMO technology. After the scale effect will appear, the penetration rate is expected to continue to rise. With the rapid development of downstream applications such as 5G communications, computers, and automotive electronics, the scale of the electronic ceramic market will continue to grow.
