Abstract
An apparatus which includes a capacitor stack including a plurality of substantially planar electrodes, a first partially etched anode layer of the capacitor stack including a first substantially unetched portion, a second anode layer of the capacitor stack, a first connection member connected to the first substantially unetched portion and a second connection member connected to the second anode layer and the first connection member.
Claims28
An apparatus, comprising:
- a capacitor stack including a plurality of substantially planar electrodes;
- a first partially etched anode of the capacitor stack including a first substantially unetched portion;
- a first connection member joined to the first substantially unetched portion;
- a second anode of the capacitor stack;
- and
- a second connection member joined to the second anode and the first connection member.
3 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- a first substantially planar capacitor electrode;
- a second substantially planar capacitor electrode in stacked alignment with the first substantially planar capacitor electrode;
- and
- joining means for joining the first substantially planar capacitor electrode to the second substantially planar capacitor electrode;
- wherein the first substantially planar capacitor electrode includes surface means for joining the first substantially planar capacitor electrode to the joining means.
2 more elements
A substantially planar anode electrode including a substantially unetched portion produced by a process comprising:
- depositing a curable resin mask onto the substantially planar anode electrode;
- curing the curable resin mask to the substantially planar anode electrode;
- etching the substantially planar anode electrode, the cured mask restricting the etch;
- removing the cured mask from the substantially planar anode electrode;
- and
- anodizing the substantially planar anode electrode.
3 more elements
A method, comprising:
- joining a first connection member to an unetched connection area, the unetched connection area located on a single major surface of a first planar anode;
- forming a capacitor stack by aligning the first planar anode with at least a second planar anode, the second planar anode including at least a second connection member, the first connection member and the second connection member for electrical connection of the first planar anode to the second planar anode;
- aligning the first connection member and the second connection member to define an anode connection surface;
- and
- joining the first planar anode and the second planar anode.
