MIS Chip Capacitors SC Series Features ■ Readily Available From Stock ■ High Reliability Silicon Oxide–Nitride Dielectric ■ Low Loss — Typically 0.04 dB in a 50 Ω System ■ Operation through 26 GHz ■ Wide Temperature Operation Absolute Maximum Ratings Characteristic Operating Temp Range (TOP) Value -65 to +200°C -65 to +200°C 100 V Description Alpha’s MIS Chip Capacitors are available in a wide range of sizes and capacitance values. They are frequently used in applications requiring DC blocking, and RF bypassing, or as a fixed capacitance tuning element in filters, oscillators, and matching networks. The devices have a dielectric composed of thermally grown silicon dioxide over which a layer of silicon nitride is deposited. This dielectric possesses a low temperature coefficient of capacitance, very high insulation resistance. The devices also exhibit excellent long term stability making them suitable for high reliability applications. The capacitors have a high dielectric breakdown which permits the use of thin dielectrics resulting in larger capacitance per unit area than our previous catalog offerings. The temperature coefficient is less that 50 ppm/°C, and operation is suitable from -65°C to 200°C. Compared to ceramic capacitors, Skyworks’ MIS chip capacitors offer higher Q, and a lower insertion loss of 0.04 dB, in a 50 Ω system. Insulation resistance is greater than 105M Ω. To accommodate high volume automated assembly methods, wafers can be supplied on expanded film f...
