Thin-Film RF/Microwave Capacitor Technology
Accu-P® Series Thin-Film Technology

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 fired- 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-film 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 field, 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.

THIN-FILM TECHNOLOGY
Thin-film 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 definitions of below 1m, and the controlling of thickness of layers at 100Å (10-2m). 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-film production facilities at KYOCERA AVX consist of:
· Class 1000 clean rooms, with working areas under laminar-flow hoods of class 100, (below 100 particles per cubic foot larger than 0.5m).
· High vacuum metal deposition systems for high-purity electrode construction.
· Photolithography equipment for line definition down to 2.0m 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.

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 RF/Microwave Capacitor Technology
Accu-P® Series Thin-Film Technology

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-film technology, the above-mentioned frequency characteristics are obtained without significant 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.

Average capacitance with histogram printout for capacitance distribution;
IR and Breakdown Voltage distribution;
Temperature Coefficient;
Solderability;
Dimensional, mechanical and temperature stability.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
The reliability of these thin-film chip capacitors has been studied intensively for several years. Various measures have been taken to obtain the high reliability required today by the industry.

Thin-Film RF/Microwave Capacitor Technology
Accu-P® Series Performance Characteristics RF Power Applications

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 efficiently 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

ESR

· Accu-P® capacitors are specially designed to minimize ESR and therefore

RF heating. Values of ESR for Accu-P® capacitors are significantly less

than those of ceramic MLC components currently available.

HEAT DISSIPATION
· 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.

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.

Thin-Film RF/Microwave Capacitor Technology
Accu-P® Series Application Notes

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 profiles used in both wave and reflow soldering methods.
CIRCUIT BOARD TYPE
The circuit board types which may be used with Accu-P® are as follows:
All flexible 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 reflow soldering. Pad designs are given below for both wave and reflow 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 reflow of large components and pad extension about 0.3mm for reflow of small components. Pad extension about 1.0mm for wave soldering.

Accu-P® Series Application Notes

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 specific application or process advice, please consult KYOCERA 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 flux 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 flux 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
