Single layer ceramic capacitors (SLC) are passive components that use ceramic materials as their insulator. They are similar in construction to ceramic multilayer capacitors but have only one layer of insulating material instead of multiple layers.
Ceramic multilayer capacitors are used when sufficient levels of capacitance need to be obtained within a single capacitor. Consequently, single layer capacitors are more limited when used as stand-alone capacitors.
One early decision that circuit designers must make is to determine if a single-layer capacitor (SLC) or multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) is the right fit for their application needs. At a high-level, these capacitor types seem similar as both SLCs and MLCCs can be used for charging and storing, filtering, or bypass functions in a circuit.
MLCCs are made of alternating layers of metallic electrodes and dielectric ceramic, as shown in figure 1 below. Figure 1: Construction of a multilayer ceramic chip capacitor (MLCC), 1 = Metallic electrodes, 2 = Dielectric ceramic, 3 = Connecting terminals
Single layer ceramic capacitors are suitable for high-frequency decoupling in switching circuits due to their inductance and series resistance. Ceramic multilayer capacitors are used when sufficient levels of capacitance need to be obtained within a single capacitor.
Each MLCC is built with multiple layers of ceramic material sandwiched between conductive layers to form the capacitor plates. The ceramic typically contains a mix of finely ground materials like metal oxides, such as titanium dioxide, known for their high dielectric constant.
