Embedded Capacitance Material

3M™ Embedded Capacitance Material (3M™ ECM) is an embedded capacitance material that is designed to reduce impedance, power bus noise, EMI, and discrete capacitor count for OEMs with high speed digital and low pass filter designs who are seeking to differentiate their products through dramatically improved performance and reduced size. Unlike some of the competition, 3M does not require a license and provides global direct support from design through manufacturing to provide application optimization and high board yields, resulting in cost effective yet exceptional performance.

3M™ ECM is a UL recognized capacitor material with high capacitive density that can be embedded into printed circuit boards and chip packaging. 3M™ ECM consists of a very thin layer of ceramic-filled epoxy sandwiched between two layers of copper foil. 3M™ ECM has demonstrated success in applications in the telecom, computer, test and measurement, military/aerospace, medical and consumer electronics industries.
