The tantalum/niobium capacitor structure uses an extremely thin, glass-like material for its dielectric. Throughout the process, foreign matter can enter the structure. The soaking and drying process introduces multiple thermal exposures. Combined with the huge surface area of the electrolytic capacitor, this leads to the formation of defects in the capacitor

I Introduction. The full name of Tantalum Capacitors is tantalum electrolytic capacitors, which are also a type of electrolytic capacitor. Metal tantalum is used as the dielectric. Unlike ordinary electrolytic capacitors, which use electrolytes, tantalum capacitors do not need to use aluminum-coated capacitor paper for firing.
Electrolytic capacitors are unique in that the dielectric is formed by growing an oxide on the surface of a metallic (typically aluminum or tantalum) foil. This oxide acts as a unidirectional

This structure allows for a very thin insulating layer within the capacitor, leading to high capacitance levels for a given volume. Moreover, tantalum capacitors possess a lower Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) than aluminum electrolytics, with a higher operating temperature capability and lower leakage.

The capacitance in tantalum capacitors can reach hundreds of uF, which you wouldn''t find in SMD ceramics due to their internal structure. This is particularly true for multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). Does It Matter What Type of Capacitor You Use? Yes, the type of capacitor matters. Different capacitors work better in different situations. Tantalum capacitors
Tantalum capacitors are, with ceramic, aluminum and film capacitors, one of the most used family. The manufacturing technology and the constant improvements in tantalum powders allow it to be the capacitor with the highest CV (product capacitance x voltage) per volume, very long life and high reliability. It has also the following advantages: • Wide range of capacitance (less
Areas of interest are highlighted. The electrical characteristics of a tantalum capacitor are determined by its structure, for example the ESR of a tantalum capacitor is very dependent on the tantalum pentoxide dielectric at low frequencies and on the internal manganese dioxide at higher frequencies.
Tantalum capacitors are manufactured from a powder of pure tantalum metal. A typical particle size for a high voltage powder would be 10 μm. By carefully choosing which powder is used to produce each capacitance/voltage code the surface area can be controlled. Powders with large particle size are used to produce high voltage capacitors.
It is also of interest that because of the solid nature of the tantalum capacitor’s construction, there is no known wear out mechanism in tantalum capacitors. This paper has been written to provide the user of tantalum capacitors with an idea of the effect of design criteria on the capacitor and the methods used in their production.
In data sheets of electrolytic capacitors, only the impedance magnitude |Z| is specified, and simply written as 'Z'. According to the IEC/EN 60384-1 standard, the impedance values of tantalum electrolytic capacitors are measured and specified at 10 kHz or 100 kHz depending on the capacitance and voltage of the capacitor.
The tests and requirements to be met by aluminum and tantalum electrolytic capacitors for use in electronic equipment for approval as standardized types are set out in the following sectional specifications. Tantalum capacitors are the main use of the element tantalum, and tantalum ore is one of the conflict minerals.
Surface mount technology tantalum capacitors are increasingly being used in new circuit designs because of their volumetric efficiency, basic reliability and process compatibility. Additionally, they are replacing aluminum electrolytics, which use a wet electrolyte.
