7.1    INTRODUCTION

Passive components support key electrical functions in any electronic system. They constitute ~80% of all components [1] and take up to ~50% of the printed wiring board area [2]. They, therefore, substantially influence the size, cost, and performance of the electronic system as a whole. Capacitors (C) are the most challenging among all the passives (R, L, and C). They perform a multitude of important ...
