We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "MLCC",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Ceramic capacitors suit sensitive applications from
Kemet Electronics Corp, which we summarised at the time by saying "Kemet's ceramic capacitors exhibit no piezoelectric properties as well as no capacitance change with respect to applied rated DC voltage or time".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Multilayer ceramic capacitors resist flexing from
TTI Europe: "Kemet offers four MLCC designs to address board flexure".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Kemet Electronics Corp
concerning its C0G dielectric MLCCs
- take a look at MLCC range offers unique values
which says: "C0G dielectric MLCCs provide stable performance over an operating temperature range of -55 to +125C, and are also particularly well suited for audio applications and microphones".
Take a look also at the news release from NIC Components Europe, Film capacitors stack up advantages,
as well as Flexible termination cracks MLCC reliabilty from Kemet Electronics Corp,
and Shrinking MLCCs are fit for RF designs from TDK Electronics Europe.
