The status of ceramic capacitors is gradually increasing

Although people now think that the generation of electronic components such as resistors and capacitors and relays is not very eye-catching, they are actually indispensable electronic components in microelectronic systems. Ceramic capacitors are especially important for the most outstanding semiconductor equipment. Without this capacitor, it is not expected that the semiconductor device can be started normally. In the electronics industry, there has also been a saying that capacitors will be classified as semiconductor devices sooner or later. However, the reality is that the key to ceramic capacitors is changing at the same time as semiconductor devices are growing. If there is no ceramic capacitor, it is not expected that semiconductor equipment such as digital signal processing and field programmable gate arrays, which are applied to high-tech microfabrication technology, can be used regularly. The shape and capacity of ceramic capacitors can be large or small.

Nowadays, the market for ceramic capacitors is used in a variety of capacitors such as aluminum electrolytic capacitors, tantalum electrolytic capacitors and plastic film capacitors. According to the statistics of the research and development department of the Zhizhixu Electronics, the early information showed that the shipments of capacitors in Japan in 2009 were 630 billion, and the domestic sales in Japan reached 310 billion yen. The sales volume of aluminum electrolytic capacitors in Japan was 17.9 billion, and the amount sold in Japan reached 180 billion yen. These data show that the gap is very large.

As of 2013, ceramic capacitors have risen to 770 billion. In contrast, aluminum electrolytic capacitors have shrunk by 11 billion. And now the gap is getting bigger and bigger.
