THE IDEAL CAPACITOR
The non-ideal characteristics of a real capacitor can be ignored at low
frequencies. Physical size imparts inductance to the capacitor and
dielectric and metal electrodes result in resistive losses, but these often
are of negligible effect on the circuit. At the very high frequencies of radio
communication (>100MHz) and satellite systems (>1GHz), these effects
become important. Recognizing that a real capacitor will exhibit inductive
and resistive impedances in addition to capacitance, the ideal capacitor for
these high frequencies is an ultra low loss component which can be fully
characterized in all parameters with total repeatability from unit to unit.
Until recently, most high frequency/microwave capacitors were based on
red-ceramic (porcelain) technology. Layers of ceramic dielectric material
and metal alloy electrode paste are interleaved and then sintered in a
high temperature oven. This technology exhibits component variability in
dielectric quality (losses, dielectric constant and insulation resistance),
variability in electrode conductivity and variability in physical size (affecting
inductance). An alternate thin-lm technology has been developed which
virtually eliminates these variances. It is this technology which has been fully
incorporated into Accu-P® and Accu-P® to provide high frequency capacitors
exhibiting truly ideal characteristics.
The main features of Accu-P® may be summarized as follows:
• High purity of electrodes for very low and repeatable ESR.
• Highly pure, low-K dielectric for high breakdown eld, high insulation
resistance and low losses to frequencies above 40GHz.
• Very tight dimensional control for uniform inductance, unit to unit.
• Very tight capacitance tolerances for high frequency signal
applications.
This accuracy sets apart these Thin-Film capacitors from ceramic capacitors
so that the term Accu has been employed as the designation for this series
of devices, an abbreviation for “accurate.”
THIN-FILM TECHNOLOGY
Thin-lm technology is commonly used in producing semiconductor devices.
In the last two decades, this technology has developed tremendously, both
in performance and in process control. Today’s techniques enable line
denitions of below 1μm, and the controlling of thickness of layers at 100Å
(10-2μm). Applying this technology to the manufacture of capacitors has
enabled the development of components where both electrical and physical
properties can be tightly controlled.
The thin-lm production facilities at AVX consist of:
• Class 1000 clean rooms, with working areas under laminar-ow hoods
of class 100, (below 100 particles per cubic foot larger than 0.5μm).
• High vacuum metal deposition systems for high-purity
electrode construction.
• Photolithography equipment for line denition down to 2.0μm
accuracy.
• Plasma-enhanced CVD for various dielectric depositions
(CVD=Chemical Vapor Deposition).
• High accuracy, microprocessor-controlled dicing saws for
chip separation.
• High speed, high accuracy sorting to ensure strict tolerance adherence.

ACCU-P® TECHNOLOGY
The use of very low-loss dielectric materials, silicon dioxide and silicon
oxynitride, in conjunction with highly conductive electrode metals results
in low ESR and high Q. These high-frequency characteristics change
at a slower rate with increasing frequency than for ceramic microwave
capacitors.
Because of the thin-lm technology, the above-mentioned frequency
characteristics are obtained without signicant compromise of properties
required for surface mounting.
The main Accu-P® properties are:
• Internationally agreed sizes with excellent dimensional control.
• Ultra small size chip capacitors (1005) are available.
• Ultra tight capacitance tolerances.
• Low ESR at VHF, UHF and microwave frequencies.
• Enhanced RF power handling capablity.
• High stability with respect to time, temperature, frequency and voltage
variation.
• Nickel/solder-coated terminations to provide excellent solderability
and leach resistance.
ACCU-P® FEATURES
Accu-P® meets the fast-growing demand for low-loss (high-Q) capacitors for
use in surface mount technology especially for the mobile communications
market, such as cellular radio of 450 and 900 MHz, UHF walkie-talkies, UHF
cordless telephones to 2.3 GHz, low noise blocks at 11-12.5 GHz and for
other VHF, UHF and microwave applications.
Accu-P® is currently unique in its ability to offer very low capacitance values
(0.05pF) and very tight capacitance tolerances (±0.01pF).
• The RF power handling capability of the Accu-P® allows for its usage in
both small signal and RF power applications.
• Thin Film Technology guarantees minimal batch to batch variability of
parameters at high frequency.
• Inspection test and quality control procedures in accordance with
ISO 9001, CECC, IECQ and USA MIL Standards yield products of the
highest quality.
• Hand soldering Accu-P®: Due to their construction utilizing relatively
high thermal conductivity materials, Accu-P’s have become the
preferred device in R & D labs and production environments where
hand soldering is used.

QUALITY & RELIABILITY
Accu-P® is based on well established thin-lm technology and materials.
• ON-LINE PROCESS CONTROL
This program forms an integral part of the production cycle and acts
as a feedback system to regulate and control production processes.
The test procedures, which are integrated into the production process,
were developed after long research work and are based on the highly
developed semiconductor industry test procedures and equipment.
These measures help AVX to produce a con- sistent and high yield line
of products.
• FINAL QUALITY INSPECTION
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 Coefcient;
Solderability;
Dimensional, mechanical and temperature stability.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
The reliability of these thin-lm chip capacitors has been studied
intensively for several years. Various measures have been taken
to obtain the high reliability required today by the industry. 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:

RF POWER APPLICATIONS
In RF power applications capacitor losses generate heat. Two factors of
particular importance to designers are:
• Minimizing the generation of heat.
• Dissipating heat as efciently as possible.
CAPACITOR HEATING
• The major source of heat generation in a capacitor in RF power
applications is a function of RF current (I) and ESR, from the relationship:
• Power dissipation = I2
RMS x ESR
• Accu-P® capacitors are specially designed to minimize ESR and therefore
RF heating. Values of ESR for Accu-P® capacitors are signicantly less
than those of ceramic MLC components currently available.
• Heat is dissipated from a capacitor through a variety of paths, but the key
factor in the removal of heat is the thermal conductivity of the capacitor
material.
• The higher the thermal conductivity of the capacitor, the more rapidly
heat will be dissipated.
• The table below illustrates the importance of thermal conductivity to the
performance of Accu-P® in power applications.
Data used in calculating the graph:
Thermal impedance of capacitors:
• 0402 17°C/W
• 0603 12°C/W
• 0805 6.5°C/W
• 1210 5°C/W
Thermal impedance measured using RF generator, amplier and strip-line
transformer.

THERMAL IMPEDANCE
Thermal impedance of Accu-P® chips is shown below com- pared with the thermal
impedance of Microwave MLC’s.
The thermal impedance expresses the temperature difference in °C between chip center and
termination caused by a power dissipation of 1 watt in the chip. It is expressed in °C/W.
ADVANTAGES OF ACCU-P® IN RF POWER CIRCUITS
The optimized design of Accu-P® offers the designer of RF power circuits the following
advantages:
• Reduced power losses due to the inherently low ESR of Accu-P®.
• Increased power dissipation due to the high thermal conductivity of Accu-P®.
• The only true test of a capacitor in any particular application is its performance under
operating conditions in the actual circuit.
PRACTICAL APPLICATION IN RF POWER CIRCUITS
• There is a wide variety of different experimental methods for measuring the power
handling performance of a capacitor in RF power circuits. Each method has its own
problems and few of them exactly reproduce the conditions present in “real” circuit applications.
• Similarly, there is a very wide range of different circuit appli- cations, all with their unique characteristics and operating conditions which cannot possibly
be covered by such “theoretical” testing.

Application Notes
Accu-P® Series
GENERAL
Accu-P® SMD capacitors are designed for soldering to printed circuit boards
or other substrates. The construction of the components is such that they
will withstand the time/temperature proles used in both wave and reow
soldering methods.
CIRCUIT BOARD TYPE
The circuit board types which may be used with Accu-P® are as follows:
All exible types of circuit boards
(eg. FR-4, G-10) and also alumina.
For other circuit board materials, please consult factory.
HANDLING
SMD capacitors should be handled with care to avoid damage or
contamination from perspiration and skin oils. The use of plastic tipped
tweezers or vacuum pick-ups is strongly recommended for individual
components. Bulk handling should ensure that abrasion and mechanical
shock are minimized. For automatic equipment, taped and reeled product
gives the ideal medium for direct presentation to the placement machine.
COMPONENT PAD DESIGN
Component pads must be designed to achieve good joints and minimize
component movement during reow soldering. Pad designs are given
below for both wave and reow soldering.
The basis of these designs is:
a. Pad width equal to component width. It is permissible to decrease this
to as low as 85% of component width but it is not advisable to go below
this.
b. Pad overlap 0.5mm beneath large components. Pad overlap about
0.3mm beneath small components.
c. Pad extension of 0.5mm for reow of large components and pad
extension about 0.3mm for reow of small components. Pad extension
about 1.0mm for wave soldering.

PREHEAT & SOLDERING
The rate of preheat in production should not exceed 4°C/ second and a
recommended maximum is about 2°C/second. Temperature differential
from preheat to soldering should not exceed 100°C.
For further specic application or process advice, please consult AVX.
COOLING
After soldering, the assembly should preferably be allowed to cool naturally.
In the event of assisted cooling, similar conditions to those recommended
for preheating should be used.
HAND SOLDERING & REWORK
Hand soldering is permissible. Preheat of the PCB to 150°C is required.
The most preferable technique is to use hot air soldering tools. Where a
soldering iron is used, a temperature controlled model not exceeding 30
watts should be used and set to not more than 260°C.
CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS
Care should be taken to ensure that the devices are thoroughly cleaned
of ux residues, especially the space beneath the device. Such residues
may otherwise become conductive and effectively offer a lossy bypass
to the device. Various recommended cleaning conditions (which must be
optimized for the ux system being used) are as follows:
Cleaning liquids ..................... i-propanol, ethanol, acetylacetone, water and
other standard PCB cleaning liquids.
Ultrasonic conditions ............power-20w/liter max.
frequency-20kHz to 45kHz.
Temperature .........................80°C maximum (if not otherwise limited by
chosen solvent system).
Time .......................................5 minutes max.
STORAGE CONDITIONS
Recommended storage conditions for Accu-P® prior to use are as follows:
Temperature .........................15°C to 35°C
Humidity ................................ ≤65%
Air Pressure ..........................860mbar to 1060mbar
