Thin Film Single Value Chip and Wire Capacitors

Product may not be to scale

The NC series of thin film capacitors has the advantage of

increased performance and smaller size when compared

with its thick film counterparts. These chips are available in

sizes down to 20 mil square and in capacitances up to

1000 pF.

Parts require epoxy or eutectic die attach to substrate and

one wire bond.

These chips are manufactured using Vishay Electro-Films

(EFI) sophisticated thin film equipment and manufacturing

technology. The NC’s are 100 % electrically tested and

visually inspected to MIL-STD-883.

FEATURES

• Wire bondable

• Small size: 0.020 inches square to 0.060 inches

square

• Substrate: silicon with gold backing

• Dielectric: silicon dioxide / silicon nitride

• Capacitance range: 0.5 pF to 1000 pF

• Material categorization:

APPLICATIONS

The NC series of capacitor chips are designed for assembly

in

hybrid

circuits

using

conventional

wire-bonding

techniques.

They

provide

excellent

stability

and

performance, and their small size gives the hybrid designer

greater layout flexibility. They are available as MNOS or

MOS capacitors. The MOS version is to be preferred when

low dielectric absorption is required.
