Abstract
A self healing high energy glass capacitor is provided. The capacitor can have a glass layer with a top surface and a bottom surface. A top sacrificial layer can extend across the top surface and a bottom sacrificial layer can extend across the bottom surface. In addition, a top electrode can extend across the top sacrificial layer and a bottom electrode can extend across the bottom sacrificial layer. In some instances the glass capacitor has an energy breakdown of at least 6 joules per cubic centimeter.
Claims18
A self healing high energy glass capacitor comprising:
- an alkali-free glass layer having a top surface and a bottom surface;
