NC Series Vishay Electro-Films Thin Film Single Value Chip and Wire Capacitors FEATURES Product may not be to scale * Wire bondable * Small size: 0.020 to 0.060 inches square * Substrate: Silicon with gold backing * Dielectric: Silicon dioxide/silicon nitride * Capacitance range: 0.5 pF to 1000 pF CHIP CAPACITORS The NC series of thin film capacitors has the advantage of increased performance and smaller size when compared with its thick film counterparts. These chips are available in sizes down to 20 mil square and in capacitances up to 1000 pF. Parts require epoxy or eutectic die attach to substrate and one wire bond. These chips are manufactured using Vishay Electro-Films (EFI) sophisticated Thin Film equipment and manufacturing technology. The NC's are 100 % electrically tested and visually inspected to MIL-STD-883. APPLICATIONS The NC series of capacitor chips are designed for assembly in hybrid circuits using conventional wire-bonding techniques. They provide excellent stability and performance, and their small size gives the hybrid designer greater layout flexibility. They are available as MNOS or MOS capacitors. The MOS version is to be preferred when low dielectric absorption is required.
