I think multilayer ceramics are pushing 100 uF these days.


Yes, but alas, only with zero volts across them. Capacitance
drops precipitously with DC bias. For a cap with Y5V dielectric,
at half the rated DC voltage, there's only 10% of the initial
capacitance left. Most manufacturers don't tell you.

The high k types vary to +-10% and +20-80% from memory if full temp is
allowed for.
High K doped with piezo material, they can be heard to click if hit with
a square wave.
