The document discusses the capacitor requirements for wide bandgap semiconductor applications using silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN). These applications require smaller, lower ESR capacitors that can operate reliably at higher voltages, temperatures, and switching frequencies. The document examines how multilayer ceramic chip (MLCC) capacitors using nickel cobalt manganese oxide (NiCoMnO or NiBME) can meet the needs, presenting data on the reliability and performance of prototype MLCCs. It also discusses using transient liquid phase sintering (TLPS) for leadless MLCC packaging to increase capacitance in a given area and improve thermal performance compared to horizontal mounting.
