Description

Skyworks Metal Insulator Silicon (MIS) chip capacitors are

available in a wide range of sizes and capacitance values. The

devices have a dielectric composed of thermally grown silicon

dioxide over which a layer of silicon nitride is deposited. This

dielectric has a low temperature coefficient of capacitance and

very high insulation resistance.

The MIS chip capacitors also exhibit excellent long-term stability,

which makes them suitable for high-reliability applications. The

capacitors have a high dielectric breakdown, which permits the

use of thin dielectrics resulting in large capacitance per unit area.

The temperature coefficient is less than 50 ppm/°C, allowing the

capacitors to operate from –65 °C up to 200 °C. Compared to

ceramic capacitors, Skyworks MIS chip capacitors offer higher Q

and an insertion loss of 0.04 dB in a 50

Ω system. Insulation

resistance is greater than 105 M

Ω.

To accommodate high volume, automated assembly methods,

wafers can be supplied on expanded film frames. To reduce cost,

chips can be supplied packaged in vials with sample testing only.

Packaging in waffle packs with 100 percent electrical testing and

visual inspection is also available.
