Introduction
AVX Tantalum
e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) Conflict-Free Smelter program
has been verified.
Niobium oxide
is a ceramic material that
can be refined to the same capacitor grade powder
morphology as high purity tantalum powder, enabling
capacitor anode manufacture by identical processes.
The
dielectric
layer is an oxide of the anodic material –
tantalum or niobium pentoxide. These oxides can be formed in
very thin layers, which, combined with their unique insulating
properties, enables very high and stable capacitance values to
be achieved.
The
cathode
is made from manganese dioxide, a
semiconducting material (for standard tantalum and niobium
oxide solid electrolytic capacitors) or conductive polymer (for
polymer solid electrolytic capacitors).
AVX is world wide leading Tantalum capacitor manu-
facturer
with widest range of capacitors from smallest to
large case sizes, from consumer to automotive, medical and
aerospace level applications. AVX has a leading market
position in all world regions. Call us first -
AVX your global
partner.
The Tantalum division of AVX produces a wide range of solid
electrolytic capacitors. Typically, the construction consists of
a 1st electrode (anode), an insulating layer (dielectric) and a
2nd electrode (cathode) system.
The anode is manufactured either from pure tantalum or
niobium oxide powder.
Tantalum
is an element extracted
from ores found alongside tin and niobium deposits; the major
sources of supply are located in Brazil, Africa and Australia.
Since December 1st, 2011, AVX has exclusively sourced the
tantalum powder and wire used to manufacture its tantalum
capacitors from smelters whose compliance with the
Electronic Industry Code of Conduct (EICC) and the Global
TECHNOLOGY TRENDS
Miniaturization (downsizing in both real estate and height
profile) while retaining high capacitance has been the most
significant driver of capacitor requirements for the latest
electronic hardware designs. Solid electrolytic capacitors are
one of the best technologies to offer very high capacitance
value in small dimensions.
The amount of capacitance achievable in solid electrolytic
capacitors is directly related to the characteristics of the
powder used to manufacture the anode. Capacitance x
voltage per gram (CV/g) is the measure used to define the
volumetric efficiency of a powder. The following graph shows
how the capability in CV/g has steadily increased over time,
allowing the production of greater capacitance values within
the same physical outline. These powder improvements have
been achieved through close development with material
suppliers. AVX are committed to driving the available
technology forward, demonstrated by extended ratings
continually being introduced in all technologies, including
conductive polymer tantalum, TACmicrochip®, and NbO
OxiCap
®

The next significant driver is equivalent series resistance (ESR)
reduction. As DC-DC converter and power supply designs
increase in power density, they require lower ESR output
capacitors to control ripple. AVX maintains a continuous ESR
improvement program to ensure low ESR capacitor capability
is maintained across the widest operating voltage range to
keep pace with emerging industry requirements.
