Miniaturization in Passive Components: 0201, 01005 Packages and What Comes Next
A 01005 capacitor occupies 0.4 mm × 0.2 mm of board real estate, roughly the cross-section of a human hair. Fifteen years ago that package was exotic; today Yageo, Murata, Samsung, and Walsin ship 01005 MLCCs and chip resistors by the billion for wearables, hearables, and implantable medical devices. The question for PCB designers is whether the a…
