Tantalum & Polymer Tantalum Capacitors
A Tantalum Polymer capacitor basically consists as well as a conventional Tantalum capacitor of a sintered Tantalum block. (Anode)
The dielectric is Tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) which is used as an isolating layer.
The next layer is, in opposite to the conventional Tantalum technology, a high conductive Polymer. (Cathode)
This organic material enables an enormous improvement of the capacitor’s performance.

Tantalum Polymer Capacitors are opening up opportunities
for designers to shrink the size of their products and
add new functionality in a wide range of applications.
This technology enables to reduce the overall number of
parts required, due to its lower ESR and increasing layout
flexibility.
Such products will only be achievable by the use of improved
raw materials and clever designs but also by total new material
technologies. For example the volumetric efficiency of the
tantalum powder has steadily increased over time, which allows
the production of larger and larger capacitances with the same
physical volume.
New methods of development establish new possibilities such as
the multi-anode configuration of capacitors. Furthermore,
the usage of new materials provided capacitors with new features.
One example is the Polymer Tantalum Capacitor, where a high
conductive cathode is used to achieve extremely low ESR values.
Because of the close partnership with the worldwide leading
manufacturers we are in a position to offer our customers the ideal
range of capacitor technology for their applications from a technical as well as cost-effective view - every time.
Case Size
Miniaturization
The Electronic Industry had and still has to handle the sophisticated
requirements of the customers. The applications are getting more
and more powerful, smaller and of higher quality.
That’s the reason why also Tantalum and Polymer Tantalum
Capacitors have always to improve their technical parameters to
satisfy the constantly changing requirements of the applications.
According to this changes there are three main developments
within this capacitor-family noticeable:
Small case sizes and low profile series
for space-saving layout
Lower ESR-values (series resistance)
for higher pulse frequencies
Higher capacities for known case sizes
for more powerful applications

Voltage Derating
Parameters Sensitive to Derating
There are three main parameters sensitive to the level of derating
(ratio between applied voltage and rated voltage of the capacitor):
Steady State Failure Rate, Dynamic Failure Rate (resistance to surge
current / low external resistance) and DCL at application voltage.
Reliability of failure rate
Steady State Failure Rate
Both Tantalum and Niobium Oxide dielectric have essentially
no wear out mechanism and in certain circumstances are capable
of limited self healing. However, random failures can occur in
operation. The failure rate of Tantalum capacitors will decrease
with time and not increase as with other electrolytic capacitors
and other electronic components. – see Fig. 1.
The useful life reliability of the tantalum capacitors in steady
state is affected by three factors. The equation from which the
failure rate can be calculated is:
F = FV ∙ FT ∙ FR ∙ FB
where:
FV - correction factor due to operating voltage/
voltage derating – see Fig. 2.
FT - correction factor due to operating temperature– see Fig. 3.
FR - correction factor due to circuit series resistance
FB - basic failure rate level
Base failure rate
Standard Tantalum conforms to Level M reliability
(i.e. 1%/1000 hrs) or better at rated voltage,
85°C and 0.1Ω/volt circuit impedance.
10
FB= 1.0% / 1000 hours for commercial tantalum series
and tantalum polymer capacitors
0.5% / 1000 hours for professional tantalum series
TRJ, TRM, THJ
0.2% - 0.5% / 1000 hours for niobium series
Dynamic Failure Rate (Surge Current)
Protection against uneven current surges in low impedance circuits
is the most important factor to consider an appropriate derating
factor of tantalum capacitor. The worst case of current surge in the
application should not exceed the design and screened current of
the capacitor specified by the manufacturer.
Current through capacitor
The maximum surge current (transient) through the capacitor in
a circuit is defined by two factors:
a) Power supply output
The current developed during power up (charging, transient)
through the capacitor depends on the power supply:
I=CX ∙ dV [A]
dt
[a]
where:
CX = capacitance of the capacitor
dV/dt = voltage gradient
(how fast the power supply can ramp the voltage)

The actual current through the capacitor is defined by the
lower value calculated from equations [a] and [b].
Solid Tantalum capacitors have a limited ability to withstand
voltage and current surges. Such current surges can cause
a capacitor to fail. The expected failure rate cannot be calculated
by a simple formula as in the case of steady-state reliability.
The table below summarizes a the result of trials
made by one of our manufacturers.
Example: typical DCL of 10V capacitor used at different
operating voltage.

As can clearly be seen from the results of this experiment,
the more derating applied by the user, the less likely
the probability of a surge failure occurring.
DCL - leakage current in the application
The leakage current drops rapidly below the value corresponding
to the rated voltage VR when reduced voltages are applied.
However for tantalum polymer capacitors and capacitors made
from niobium oxide, the failure-rate has less dependence on
applied voltage and have different derating requirements.
Hence a minimum derating of 20% is sufficient in all applications.
DCL value can typically drop to one range lower value if 50%
derating is used – see Fig. 4.

Comparison of Tantalum & Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors
Introduction
Parasitic ESR and ESL
In many business fields like measurement, automotive and
industry electronics, there are more often intentions to replace
tantalum capacitors through MLCC’s. However the replacement
is not always an ideal solution, because the capacitors have builtin specific kinds of features suitable for desired equipments.
Both of these capacitors have parasitic ESL and ESR, simply
because of the physics involved in manufacturing the devices.
Both technologies have a finite length and width of conductor in
which the conduction currents flow through, therefore they both
have inductance (ESL).
There are significant differences in constructions between
multilayer ceramic (MLC) and tantalum capacitors. The ceramic
MLC chip is a ceramic block with end metallizations applied to
the opposing end termination faces (T1 & T2).
This creates wrap-around metal pads on the adjacent faces,
and these pads are soldered directly to the printed circuit board
(PCB) along the bottom of the chip.
The ESR of MLCC’s is typically lower than that of similar value
tantalum. The ratio of this parasitic is typically 1:100.
Using conductive polymers in place of the traditional MnO2
cathode reduces this ratio down to 1:10 and, in some cases
approaching unity – see Fig. 1.
The active element of the tantalum capacitor is a metal-dominated
structure that is encased in plastic, with leadframes extending out
from the plastic to allow a leadframe wrap-under (T1 & T2),
which creates metal pads along the bottom of the package to
facilitate the soldering to the PCB.

Temperature Coefficient of capacitance
The allowable change in capacitance for two of the ceramic
dielectrics and for tantalum within their temperature ranges are
all within a +-15% window – see Fig. 2.
For filtering applications, they are very similar, as deviations within
20% will have little impact on circuit. For power supplies
that are always in the temperature range above 20°C, the higher
capacitance from the tantalum could result in lowered impedance
and improved performance.
Viewing these same considerations for decoupling of hot
microprocessors or decoupling applications,
the higher capacitance at elevated temperatures makes
the tantalum response more desirable.

DC bias Dependency
Flex cracks
The specified capacitance of MLCC’s are related to a specific
metering voltage, usually 1V with a frequency of 1 kHz.
If there will be a DC voltage applied, the capacitance of
the ceramic capacitor will decrease.
This effect is called DC bias.
The most reported cause for failure of ceramic chips today
is flex cracking.
Tantalum capacitors do not change capacitance with
applied DC bias.
Since almost all capacitors are operated with a DC voltage involved, this is a very important feature to keep in mind when designing a circuit – see Fig. 4:
It should be noted that the temperature and DC bias effects
are cumulative and not exclusively independent.
30
The larger the capacitor chip, the greater possibility for cracking.
The larger capacitor chips afford the largest capacitance.
Replacing tantalum capacitors usually requires the largest ceramic
capacitance available.
This creates a self-feeding cycle of failure.
Tantalum capacitors are not affected by mechanical stress.
Summary
There is no simple answer to the question of whether you can
replace a tantalum with a ceramic or the other way around.
The parameters that the capacitor will see during its lifetime need
to be examined carefully.
The benefits of the technologies are listed in the table below.
Piezoelectric noise
Due to the fact that the ceramic material is crystal based it has a
potential for piezoelectric noise.
In the case of the capacitor mechanically fixed on the board, any
mechanical stress created in the part by the board can generate
unwanted electrical noise.
This is especially important for high-gain amplifiers.
Tantalum capacitors have no piezoelectric effect - see Fig. 5

New 125V Tantalum Polymer SMD Capacitors Surpass Previous 100V Milestone
The new surface-mount chip capacitors have surpassed previous milestones with the introduction of the new TCJ 100V and 125V to
provide excellent capacitance and ultra-low ESR in a compact case size also in the reduced ignition failure mode solution. In addition,
due to the nature of polymer capacitors surge robustness, lower derating of 20% can be used. Nevertheless, due to maximum achievable
breakdown voltage, working voltage of tantalum-polymer capacitors was limited up until now.
The continuous AVX development proved conductive polymer ability to increase the rated voltage up to 125V, extending the application voltage up to 100V. This significantly widens the working range
of tantalum capacitors for a wide array of high-voltage applications,
including telecommunications equipment, base stations, switching
hubs, router and line filters, DC/DC converters in LED TVs, Notebook power supplies, and a host industrial applications.
The new, high-voltage TCJ Series tantalum polymer capacitors allow
design engineers to reduce the number of components on the board,
providing much greater layout flexibility than comparable aluminum
electrolytic capacitors and enabling the devices they’re designed into,
such as LCD monitors and LED TVs, to become even sleeker and
more compact.
