4. Conclusion – Outlook

Since the 1990s, the capacitor market has been largely driven by the development of nomadic and connected objects, which require ever greater miniaturization. Undoubtedly, it is the [E 1 925] multilayer ceramic capacitor that best lends itself to this trend and, aided by the development of BME technology, has taken a leading share of the market. This has been achieved, for the most part, at the expense of film capacitors, which are difficult to miniaturize and do not lend themselves well to surface transfer, which is now the norm for most applications. New films have...
