There are 2 basic classes: Class 1 ceramic capacitors are highly thermally stable, and present low losses. Class 2 have large capacitance. The dielectric is a very thin film, typically smaller than 1m. Also widely used. Well suited for high frequencies and high pulsed currents.
Typically, an electrolytic capacitor can be placed for ensuring (9) and (12) at low frequencies, while a ceramic (or film) capacitor can be placed for ensuring low dissipation (13)-(17) or filtering at high frequencies. Figure 14 Impedance of Ceramic and Electrolytic capacitors .
Ceramic capacitors have very low ESR, but capacitance is reduced greatly with high bias voltage and can be expensive for large values. Ceramic capacitors are best for high frequency and large-value electrolytic capacitors are good for low frequency.
The dielectric is a very thin film, typically smaller than 1m. Also widely used. Well suited for high frequencies and high pulsed currents. There are two basic types: Film/foil capacitors present 2 layers of dielectric with a metal foil are stacked, that allow for large currents.
There are mainly two types of capacitors: the electrolytic and the film/ceramic capacitors. The primary advantage of an electrolytic capacitor is large capacity in a small package size at a relatively low cost, however, it has a limited life, and the Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) is relatively large.
a) Stability of Capacitance vs. temperature For Ceramic and Film capacitors, there is different behavior vs. increasing temperature. The temperature dependence is expressed as ppm per degree Celsius (e.g. ceramic class 1) or in % over the total temperature range (e.g. ceramic class 2).

Roughly 99% of all ceramic capacitors shipped yearly are Base Metal Electrode systems with nickel inner electrodes. Since RF capacitors require very low loss at high frequencies, the internal electrodes are either Palladium Silver for Precious Metal Electrode (PME) systems or Copper for Base Metal Electrode (BME) systems.

Power losses can be reduced to an equivalent series resistance (ESR). These losses are dependent on a number of operating conditions. Most data sheets only detail losses under small signal, no bias sinusoidal excitations. Rise in temperature of oil is measured to determine power dissipated by device under test (DUT).
Finally, the capacitor has resistive losses. Together these three elements produce the impedance, Z. If we apply an AC voltage over a capacitor, its losses release heat. They can be regarded as a resistive part of the …
