Discrete DTC

Chips in smartphones, computers, and AI servers operate at high speeds and require a stable power supply. Even brief power fluctuations or electrical noise can affect chip performance. Capacitors help stabilize the power supply near the chip, acting like tiny power buffers. UMC’s Discrete Deep Trench Capacitor (Discrete DTC) is a silicon-based capacitor that stores electrical charge in numerous tiny, deep trenches in the silicon, providing capacitance in a compact space.

Key features include:

• Small and thin: DTCs can be placed inside a chip package or underneath a substrate, helping save space.
• Help stabilize power: Positioned close to the chip, they can help reduce power fluctuations and high-frequency noise.
• Stable and reliable: Their capacitance remains consistent across different temperatures and voltage conditions.
• Designed for different needs: Their size and packaging can be tailored to meet the space and capacitance requirements of different products.

Discrete DTCs can be used in smartphones, tablets, and AI servers. They are especially suitable for applications that require high chip performance and stable power but have limited space within the package.
