Abstract
The author outlines the reasons behind the interest in ESR (equivalent series resistance) of surface mount devices and details the processing steps which affect the ESR of a tantalum capacitor. It is noted that the operating frequencies of products which use tantalum surface mount capacitors are continually increasing. These higher frequencies have resulted in ESR becoming a specified parameter in numerous user drawings, industry standards, and military specifications for tantalum chips
