The price of the multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) has risen sharply over the past several years, tracking the expansion in the number of power supplies used in the automotive industry. For instance, the proliferation of the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in automobiles has dramatically increased ceramic capacitor usage rates.

The quest to increase the performance of industrial and automotive systems calls for increases in data processing speed of several orders of magnitude, with an increasing number of power-hungry devices squeezed into microprocessors, CPUs, system on chips (SoCs), ASICs, and FPGAs.
