Multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCC)
Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCC) are vital components in electronic devices constructed of two or more alternating layers of ceramic and metal layers. As illustrated in this video, by utilizing the Excillum NanoTube N3 in a nanoCT (3D X-ray) setup it is possible to get full internal 3D information of the MLCC at unprecedented resolution, revealing intricate internal structures and defects with unmatched clarity. The MLCC in this example is a 01005 component approximately 400 x 200 µm in size. This enables failure analysis or quality assurance at a previously unattainable level.
