The demand for tantalums is greater than supply. Tantalum caps are in high
demand for the power supplies in cell phones and other small devices. The
alternate for small values are ceramic caps, and for large values you'll
need to use aluminums instead, albeit at a larger size. One cap vendor has
on their web site a document about replacing tantalums:

Good luck!
