    The MOS capacitor was later widely adopted as a storage capacitor in memory chips, and as the basic building block of the charge-coupled device (CCD) in image sensor technology. [20] In 1966, Dr. Robert Dennard invented modern DRAM architecture, combining a single MOS transistor per capacitor. [21] [22]

  3. Electrolytic capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolytic_capacitor

    As to the basic construction principles of electrolytic capacitors, there are three different types: aluminium, tantalum, and niobium capacitors. Each of these three capacitor families uses non-solid and solid manganese dioxide or solid polymer electrolytes, so a great spread of different combinations of anode material and solid or non-solid ...

  4. Capacitor types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_types

    Capacitors for AC applications are primarily film capacitors, metallized paper capacitors, ceramic capacitors and bipolar electrolytic capacitors. The rated AC load for an AC capacitor is the maximum sinusoidal effective AC current (rms) which may be applied continuously to a capacitor within the specified temperature range.

  5. Supercapacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercapacitor

    Schematic illustration of a supercapacitor [1] A diagram that shows a hierarchical classification of supercapacitors and capacitors of related types. A supercapacitor (SC), also called an ultracapacitor, is a high-capacity capacitor, with a capacitance value much higher than solid-state capacitors but with lower voltage limits.

  6. Ceramic capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_capacitor

    A typical ceramic through-hole capacitor. A ceramic capacitor is a fixed-value capacitor where the ceramic material acts as the dielectric. It is constructed of two or more alternating layers of ceramic and a metal layer acting as the electrodes. The composition of the ceramic material defines the electrical behavior and therefore applications.

  7. Tantalum capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum_capacitor

    The basic unit of electrolytic capacitors capacitance is microfarad (μF). The capacitance value specified in the data sheets of the manufacturers is called rated capacitance C R or nominal capacitance C N and is the value for which the capacitor has been designed.

  8. Aluminum electrolytic capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Aluminum_electrolytic_capacitor

    Therefore, the construction of the electrolytic capacitor consists of two single series-connected capacitors with capacitance C A of the anode and capacitance C K of the cathode. The total capacitance of the capacitor C e-cap is thus obtained from the formula of the series connection of two capacitors:
