Silicon capacitors have large capacitance values in small areas. When mounted as discrete capacitors on an IC package, these capacitors create a high-capacitance, low-inductance branch in the power distribution network (PDN). This branch can effectively service the high-frequency needs of an IO switching load, reducing PDN …

Enhancing Tantalum Capacitor Reliability: A Comprehensive Analysis of Yield Strength and Plasticity in Welding Processes for Optimal Manufacturing. In the production of tantalum capacitors (TC), there is a crucial component of the design without which the process is impossible – a sintered tantalum pellet with a tantalum wire lead.
Capacitors are available in a wide range of capacitance values, from just a few picofarads to well in excess of a farad, a range of over 10(^{12}). Unlike resistors, whose physical size relates to their power rating and not their resistance value, the physical size of a capacitor is related to both its capacitance and its voltage rating (a consequence of Equation ref{8.4}.
