Thin Film Capacitors
Thin film capacitors are a type of capacitor that utilizes a thin dielectric layer, typically made from materials such as ceramic, polymer, or metal oxides, deposited onto a substrate. These capacitors are designed to store and release electrical energy, functioning as essential components in electronic circuits. The thin dielectric layer allows for precise control over capacitance values, making them ideal for applications requiring high stability and low losses. The basic operating principle involves the accumulation of electric charge on the thin dielectric layer when a voltage is applied across the capacitor's terminals, enabling energy storage and release as needed.
