The process of movement from high-end electronic devices to the consumer market has speed up recently under an effect of globalization of worldwide design & manufacturing capabilities. We can see this process especially in applications such as cellular phones, digital cameras, notebooks and LCD displays. The faster move to the consumer market has significantly increased the importance of flexibility in design and manufacturing. One of the key capabilities that have to be achieved is to select the right high-technology electronic components with the best performance versus low cost. Recent developments in tantalum technology have resulted in a new type of solid electrolyte capacitor the OxiCap™ based upon niobium oxide material that meets the requirements for a high-technology component in consumer applications.
