INTRODUCTION
A Professional MLCC (Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor) Manufacturer
In the post-PC 21st century, all information and communication technology products will be
closely connected with our daily lives. In a colorful communication world, DARFON’s
Multi-layer Ceramic Capacitor is significant. This product addresses the market's
application needs by combining technology from materials engineering, chemical
engineering, electronic engineering, and mechanical engineering.
A Multi-layer Ceramic Capacitor with different functions is always the goal of DARFON’s
R&D, with R&D taking the direction of multi-levels and small scale. As far as the technical
aspect is concerned, the company has surpassed other domestic companies in Taiwan by
being first to develop the BME process and 0201 ultra miniature MLCC. This product's
ultra thin thickness is top notch.
Through automated equipment with high efficient management systems, DARFON can
guarantee the quality of each end product.
DARFON Quality Policy
“ To deliver Defect-free, Competitive Products
and Services to our Customers on time. “
MLCC Introduction
Multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) are manufactured by suspending ceramic powders
in liquid and casting into a thin green sheet from 20 um in thickness to 5 um or thinner.
Metal electrodes are sieved printed onto green sheets, which are later stacked to form a
laminated structure. The metal electrodes are 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 small mechanical volumes.
Finally, the termination electrodes are formed by composite of outer metal-glass electrode
and followed by a barrier layer and pure-tin plating to permit MLCC to be soldered directly
onto printed circuit board.

SELECTION GUIDE
Darfon’s series of Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors are designed to meet a wide
variety of needs. We offer a complete range of products for both general and
specialized applications in the industry. We suggest your selection of capacitors
based on consideration of the following items:
1. DIELECTRIC TYPE
The choice of dielectric is usually determined by the required capacitance-temperature stability. Darfon
offers four types, NP0, X7R, X5R and Y5V for your choice. The features and applications of these four
types are specified as follows:

AGING RATE
The capacitance and dissipation factor of class 2 capacitors decreases with time. It is
known as ‘aging’ that follows a logarithmic low and expressed in terms of an aging
constant. Aging is caused by a gradual re-alignment of the crystalline structure of the
ceramic. The aging constant is defined as the percentage loss of capacitance at a
‘time decade’. The law of capacitance aging is expressed as following equation:

A typical curve of aging rate is
shown in following figure.
When heating the capacitors above Curie temperature (130℃~150℃) the capacitance
can be re-new. So capacitance of class 2 capacitors will be complete de-aged by
soldering process; subsequently a new aging process begins.
Because of aging, it is specified an age for measurement to meet the prescribed
tolerance for class 2 capacitors. Normally, 1000 hours (t2=1000 hrs) is defined.

PACKAGING
Packing
Tape and reel packaging
Tape and reel packaging is currently the most promising system for high-speed production. A
typical 180mm (7 inch) diameter reel contains 1,500 to 15,000 capacitors, 250mm (10 inch)
contains 10,000 capacitors, and 330mm(13 inch) contains 10,000 to 50,000 capacitors. Three
standard sizes are available in taped and reeled package either with paper carrier tapes or
embossed tapes.

APPLICATION NOTES
Storage
1. The chip capacitors shall be packaged in carrier tapes or bulk cases.
2. Keep storage place temperatures from +5℃ to +35℃, humidity from 45 to 70%
RH.
3. The storage atmosphere must be free of gas containing sulfur and chlorine. Also,
avoid exposing the product to saline moisture. If the product is exposed to such
atmospheres, the terminations will oxidize and solderability will be affected.
4. The solderability is assured for 12 months from our final inspection date if the
above storage condition is followed.
Circuit Design
1. Once application and assembly environments have been checked, the capacitor
may be used in conformance with the rating and performance, which are provided
in both the catalog and the specifications. Exceeding the specifications listed may
result in inferior performance. It may also cause a short, open, smoking, or flaming
to occur, etc.
2. Please use the capacitors in conformance with the operating temperature provided
in both the catalog and the specifications. Be especially cautious not to exceed the
maximum temperature. In the situation the maximum temperature set forth in both
the catalog and specifications is exceeded, the capacitor’s insulation resistance
may deteriorate, power may suddenly surge and short-circuit may occur. The loss
of capacitance will occur, and may self-heat due to equivalent series resistance
when alternating electric current is passed through. As this effect becomes critical
in high frequency circuits, please exercise with caution. When using the capacitor
in a (self-heating) circuit, please make sure the surface of the capacitor remains
under the maximum temperature for usage. Also, please make certain
temperature rise remain below 20℃.
3. Please keep voltage under the rated voltage, which is applied to the capacitor.
Also, please make certain the peak voltage remains below the rated voltage when
AC voltage is super-imposed to the DC voltage. In the situation where AC or pulse
voltage is employed, ensure average peak voltage does not exceed the rated
voltage. Exceeding the rated voltage provided in both catalog and specifications
may lead to defective withstanding voltage or, in worse case situations, may cause
the capacitor to burn out.
4.
It’s is a common phenomenon of high-dielectric products to have a deteriorated
amount of static electricity due to the application of DC voltage.

APPLICATION NOTES
Handling
Chip capacitors should be handled with care to avoid contamination or damage. The
use of vacuum pick-up or plastic tweezers is recommended for manual placement.
Tape and reeled packages are suitable for automatic pick and placement machine.
Flux
1. An excessive amount of flux or too rapid temperature rise can causes solvent
burst, solder can generate a large quantity of gas. The gas can spreads small
solder particles to cause solder balling effect or bridging problem.
2. Flux containing too high of a percentage of halide may cause corrosion of
termination unless sufficient cleaning is applied.
3. Use rosin-type flux. Highly acidic flux (halide content less than 0.2wt%) is not
recommended.
4.
The water soluble flux causes deteriorated insulation resistance between outer
terminations unless sufficiently cleaned.
Component Spacing
For wave soldering components, the spacing must be sufficient far apart to prevent
bridging or shadowing. This is not so important for reflow process but enough space
for rework should be considered. The suggested spacing for reflow soldering and
wave soldering is 0.5mm and 1.0mm, respectively.
Solder Fillet
Too much solder amount may increase solder stress and cause crack risk. Insufficient solder
amount may reduce adhesive strength and cause parts falling off PCB. When soldering,
confirm that the solder is placed over 0.2mm of the surface of the terminations.

APPLICATION NOTES
Recommended Land Pattern Dimensions
When mounting the capacitor to substrate, it’s important to consider that the amount
of solder (size of fillet) used has a direct effect upon the capacitor once it’s mounted.
1. The greater the amount of solder, the greater the stress to the elements, as this
may cause the substrate to break or crack.
2. In the situation where two or more devices are mounted onto a common land,
separate the device into exclusive pads by using soldering resist.
3.
Land width equal to or less than component. It is permissible to reduce land width
to 80% of component width.

APPLICATION NOTES
Resin Mold
If a large amount of resin is used for molding the chip, cracks may occur due to
contraction stress during curing. To avoid such cracks, use a low shrinkage resin. The
insulation resistance of the chip will degrade due to moisture absorption. Use a low
moisture absorption resin. Check carefully that the resin does not generate a
decomposition gas or reaction gas during the curing process or during normal storage.
Such gases may crack the chip capacitor or damage the device itself.
