Multilayer ceramic capacitors, which are tiny components that regulate and stabilize power flow in electronic devices, are becoming a growing bottleneck in the construction of artificial intelligence data centers. | BLOOMBERG Taiyo Yuden is fielding “scary” levels of demand for its high-end artificial intelligence server components, stretching capacity and increasing the risk of supply chain hiccups. The Tokyo-based company, which makes multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), will likely need to accelerate spending to expand output capacity, CEO Katsuya Sase said in an interview. MLCCs, which are tiny components that regulate and stabilize power flow in electronic devices, are becoming a growing bottleneck in the construction of artificial intelligence data centers. Taiyo Yuden and Murata Manufacturing comprise the bulk of the world’s supplies of high-end MLCCs. “The volumes we are seeing today — it’s scary,” Sase said.…
