Barrier Layer Ceramic Capacitors

Efforts made towards miniaturization in the field of Ceramic Capacitors have resulted in Barrier Layer Ceramic Capacitors. The highest known dielectric constant of the order of 100000 has been achieved with this type of capacitors. Reduction of the ceramic dielectric material and formation of barrier layers over the reduced discs are the special processes involved in the production of these capacitors. The barrier layer capacitors have a very high capacitance to volume ratio. This property of barrier layer ceramics has resulted in miniaturization by reducing the volume and weight of the transistorized equipments.
