SMD
* Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC)are manufactured by suspending ceramic powders in liquid and casting into a thin green sheet from 20um in thickness to 5um or thinner.

* metal electrodes are sieved printed onto green sheets which are later stacked to form a laminated are structure. The metal electrodes arranged so that the termination alternates from one edge to another of the capacitor.

* Upon sintering at high temperature the part becomes a monolithic block which can provide an extremely high capacitance in a small mechanical volume.

* Finally, the termination electrodes are formed by composite of outer metalglass electrode and followed by a barrier layer and a tin-lead plating of permit MLC to be soldered directly onto printed circuit board. A pictorial view of MLC is shown in page1.
