Empower Launches High-Density Embedded Silicon Capacitors for AI and HPC
February 11, 2026 | Empower SemiconductorEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Empower Semiconductor, the world leader in powering artificial intelligence (AI)-class processors, today announced the launch of three new embedded silicon capacitors (ECAPs™), designed to meet the power integrity demands of next-generation AI and high-performance computing (HPC) processors. The new ECAP™ portfolio includes the EC2005P, with 9.34μF capacitance in a 2mm x 2mm package; the EC2025P, offering 18.68μF capacitance in a 4mm x 2mm package; and the EC2006P, providing 36.8μF capacitance in a 4mm x 4mm form factor.
As AI processors push the limits of performance, power delivery has emerged as a critical constraint. Achieving the required power integrity for extreme current densities and ultrafast transient response is no longer realistic with board-level mounted components; embedding capacitors into the processor substrate is now essential. Empower Semiconductor’s ECAPTM portfolio is leading the industry initiatives to embed high-density silicon capacitors, unlocking the power integrity required to scale next-generation processor performance.
“Our customers are under intense pressure to deliver greater performance with tighter power margins,” said Steve Hertog, Senior Vice President Worldwide Sales, Empower Semiconductor. “These new ECAPs are a proven and practical way to deploy higher capacitance density into a smaller footprint right at the package level of the AI processor.”
Empower’s new ECAP™ solutions feature ultralow equivalent series inductance (ESL) and equivalent series resistance (ESR). The wide bandwidth ultralow impedance delivers optimal power delivery network (PDN) performance and significantly improves overall power integrity. Each device has been engineered from a packaging perspective to meet the strict dimensional and tolerance requirements necessary for embedded deployment within AI and HPC processors.

Below the Surface: Active Component and Module Submounts—The Architecture Behind Performance
05/14/2026 | Chandra Gupta -- Column: Below the SurfaceIf you were to peel back the layers of a modern electronic system, such as a satellite transceiver, a LiDAR module, or a 5G base station, you would not immediately notice a specific component doing some of the most important work. It doesn’t amplify signals, emit light, or process data, yet without it, none of those functions would be stable, reliable, or scalable. That component is the active device submount.
Road to Reliability: Engineering High Uptime EV Charging Infrastructure
05/13/2026 | Stanton Rak, SF Rak CompanyThe transition to EVs is no longer constrained solely by vehicle capability. Instead, it is increasingly defined by a simpler, but more unforgiving question: Will the charger work when I arrive? This high uptime does not happen by accident. As EV technology has matured, limitations in battery range, power electronics, and thermal management are no longer the primary barriers to adoption.
