Reliability and Critical Applications of Tantalum Capacitors 2007年3月KEMET网上技术文章翻译（以英文原文为准） Despite constant competition from aluminum and ceramic capacitors, tantalum (Ta) capacitors have been on the market for more than half a century. They still continue to grow, especially, relatively new types of Ta capacitors like Ta capacitors with conductive polymer cathode. The major parameters, which keep Ta capacitors on the market and make them attractive for use in electronic devices, are high volumetric efficiency (CV/cc), low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and Equivalent Series Inductance (ESL), highly stable characteristics with respect to voltage and temperature, and high stability over long periods of time (i.e., high reliability). 尽管有来自铝电容器和陶瓷电容器不断的竞争，半个多世纪以来，钽电容器在市场上一直占有一定的份额。它们依然会不断成长，特别是相关新型钽电容器，像导电聚合物阴极钽电容器。保持钽电容器占有市场并吸引电子产品用户的主要参数，是体积小、（CV/cc）、低等效串联电阻（ESR）和等效串联电感（ESL），对电压和温度的高稳定性，以及长期高稳定性（即高可靠性）。 High stability and reliability bring Ta capacitors into special applications, such as military, aerospace, and medical. At the same time, the key element of Ta capacitors, Ta2O5 dielectric, is inherently thermodynamically unstable. Stabilizing the dielectric and the Ta/Ta205 interface can be accomplished by kinetic means. Extension of high stability and reliability to higher temperatures and voltages requires a deep understanding of these thermodynamic and kinetic factors and the manufacturing technology to affect the practical realization of this science. 高稳定性和可靠性将钽电容器带入特殊的应用，例如军工、航天和医学领域。同时，钽电容器的关键成分，Ta2O5介质固有的受热应力会不稳定。稳定介质和Ta/ Ta2O5界面可以通过动力学手段实现。在更高温度和电压条件下，要扩大高稳定性和可靠性，需要对这些热应力和动力学因素，以及制造技术对该科学应用实现的影响有深刻的了解。 In this paper, we show how application of this knowledge can extend the working temperature of high reliability devices from 125°C to 200°C and the rated voltage to 125 V and above. We also explain how CV/cc and Energy/cc can continue to be increased at higher voltages. 在这篇文章中，我们介绍如何应用这些知识，可以将高可靠元件的工作温度从125℃扩大到150℃，以及额定电压扩大到125V或以上。我们也会解释CV/cc和能量/cc如何在更高电压的
