Many caps employ flash cap technology. The capacitance is determined by the surface area of the parallel surfaces. Manufacturers can increase the area by acid etching the surface, thus roughening it, and thus giving higher capacitances in a smaller package.
I am not convinced it is 'better' in performance than the older smooth film caps, however.
