Abstract:
A capacitor has first planer internal electrodes in electrical contact with a first external termination. Second planer internal electrodes are interleaved with the first planer internal electrodes wherein the second planer internal electrodes are in electrical contact with a second external termination. A dielectric is between the first planer internal electrodes and the second planer internal electrodes and at least one of the external terminations comprises a material selected from a polymer solder and a transient liquid phase sintering adhesive.
Abstract:
An improved capacitor with an anode (11) with an anode wire and an oxide layer (12) on the surface of the anode (11). A cathode layer is exterior to the oxide layer. A carbon conductive layer (14) is exterior to the cathode layer wherein the cathode layer comprises 5-75 wt% resin and 25-95 wt% conductor. The conductor has carbon nanotubes. An anode lead is in electrical contact with the anode wire and a cathode lead is in electrical contact with the carbon conductive layer (14).
Abstract:
Embedded capacitors comprise a bimetal foil (500) that includes a first copper layer (205) and an aluminum layer (210) on the first copper layer. The aluminum layer has a smooth side adjacent the first copper layer and a high surface area textured side (215) opposite the first copper layer. The bimetal foil further includes an aluminum oxide layer (305) on the high surface area textured side of the aluminum layer, a conductive polymer layer (420) on the aluminum oxide layer, and a second copper layer (535) overlying the aluminum oxide layer. The bimetal foil may be embedded in a circuit board (700) to form high value embedded capacitors.
Abstract:
A process for providing an improved hermetically sealed capacitor which includes the steps of applying a solder and a flux to an interior surface of a case; flowing the solder onto the interior surface; remove flux thereby forming a flux depleted solder; inserting the capacitive element into the casing; reflowing the flux depleted solder thereby forming a solder joint between the case and the solderable layer; and sealing the case.

Abstract:
A method for treating anodes of refractory valve metals by deoxidizing the anodes using Mg in an oven, prior to sintering. The process limits free oxygen in the metal compact and improves performance of a capacitor, especially with regards to rated voltage.

Abstract:
A process for forming a capacitor. The process includes providing an anode; providing a dielectric on the anode; exposing the anode to a polymer precursor solution comprising monomer, conjugated oligomer and optionally solvent and polymerizing the polymer precursor. The ratio between monomer and conjugated oligomer ranges from 99.9/0.1 to 75/25 b y weight. The solvent content in the polymer precursor solution is from 0 to 99 % by weight.
