Anode design The overall surface area of a tantalum capacitor anode, particularly its surface-to-volume ratio, is one of the key parameters that define its ESR value – the higher the overall surface area, the lower the ESR. The single anode is the standard used for general capacitor designs because of cost versus performance efficiency.
