Tantalum capacitor

A typical tantalum capacitor is a chip capacitor and consists of tantalum powder pressed and sintered into a pellet as the anode of the capacitor, with the oxide layer of tantalum pentoxide as a dielectric, and a solid manganese dioxide electrolyte as the cathode.

Optimizing Tantalum Capacitor Reliability via Two-Stage Sintering

Sintering porous tantalum pellets is a critical step in producing tantalum capacitors (TC), integral to electronics for their high capacitance, reliability, and stability.

TECHNICAL PAPER

Tantalum capacitors are manufactured from a powder of pure tantalum metal. A typical particle size for a high voltage powder would be 10 μm. By carefully choosing which powder is used to produce each capacitance/voltage code the surface area can be controlled. Powders with large particle size are used to produce high voltage capacitors.

Save the giants: demand beyond production capacity of tantalum

Tantalum''s high melting point and ability to store and release electrical charges have attracted high-tech companies since its usage in capacitors began in the 1930s.
