We report a novel concept for the direct integration of capacitors in printed circuit boards using ultra-small BaTiO3 and ZrO2 nanoparticles prepared by a chemical method. Electrical properties comparable to surface mount ceramic capacitors were achieved by proper processing of the nanoparticles, achieving a device-yield of >90% under research environment. The loss factor of the presented integrated capacitors does not exceed 0.05 independent of frequency, capacitor’s electrode area or applied bias voltage.
