ELSPES manufactures high-density silicon capacitors, like the E1PD5, for power delivery applications. The E1PD5 offers high capacitance density and breakdown voltage in an ultra-thin profile, reducing current leakage and enabling smaller footprints compared to traditional MLCCs. Their capacitors can be customized for specific size, capacitance, and other features.

Problem
Multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) used in power delivery applications can suffer from voltage derating and temperature instability, leading to reduced performance and reliability, especially in high-temperature environments. Traditional capacitors may also exhibit higher equivalent series resistance (ESR) and equivalent series inductance (ESL), limiting their effectiveness in high-frequency applications.
Solution
ELSPES manufactures high-density silicon capacitors that offer improved performance and reliability compared to traditional MLCCs. These silicon capacitors leverage a 3D deep trench structure and high-k dielectric materials to achieve high capacitance density in a small form factor. ELSPES capacitors exhibit lower voltage derating, higher temperature stability, and lower ESR and ESL, making them suitable for demanding applications in mobile, high-performance computing (HPC), data centers, device testers, automotive, and aerospace. The capacitors can be customized for specific size, capacitance, and terminal configurations to meet diverse design requirements. ELSPES silicon capacitors can function as both decoupling capacitors for noise reduction and stabilization, and as coupling capacitors operating at frequencies up to 60 GHz.
