Ultra-High Q Factor 100 pF 30 V MOS Capacitor (HACC101S30V300) — Low ESR Miniature Single Layer RF Chip
Summary: The Hoan HACC101S30V300 is a 100 pF ±10% single-layer MOS capacitor rated at 30 V DC, delivering an ultra-high Q factor (Q>2000 @ 1 MHz, Q>300 @ 1 GHz) and ultra-low ESR (<0.08 Ω @ 1 GHz) in an ultra-miniature 0.40 × 0.40 × 0.15 mm wire-bondable bare-die package. It is engineered for low-loss RF impedance matching, DC blocking and bypass where board area and insertion loss are critical.
What Is a Single-Layer MOS Capacitor?
A MOS capacitor (Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor capacitor) is a single-layer capacitor that uses a thermally grown silicon dioxide (SiO2) dielectric on a high-resistivity silicon substrate, with metal electrodes on the top and bottom. Because there is no internal electrode stack, current flows vertically through one dielectric layer, giving a near-zero intrinsic equivalent series inductance (ESL) and a high self-resonant frequency (SRF) compared with multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs).
Key Performance Advantages
- Ultra-High Q Factor — Q > 2000 at 1 MHz and Q > 300 at 1 GHz. The float-zone substrate (>1000 Ω·cm) minimises eddy-current loss, so network insertion loss is negligible and the matching inductor, not the capacitor, dominates total loss.
- Ultra-Low ESR — ESR typically below 0.08 Ω at 1 GHz, minimising I²R loss in power-amplifier bypass and DC-blocking paths.
- Miniature Chip Form Factor — the 0.40 mm bare die occupies roughly 36% of the footprint of a standard 0.50 mm chip, increasing channel density in multi-channel RF front-ends.
- Near-Zero Intrinsic Inductance — single-layer vertical current path yields intrinsic chip ESL below 0.03 nH; system resonance is set by the user-controlled bond wire.
- Stable C-V — paraelectric SiO2 shows a negligible DC-bias coefficient (<10 ppm/V) and no ferroelectric aging.
