Multi-Layer Electronic Device

A multi-layer electronic device comprising:

• a ceramic layer that extends in a longitudinal direction between first and second longitudinal edges and in a lateral direction between first and second lateral edges, wherein a longitudinal centerline is defined between the first and second longitudinal edges and a lateral centerline is defined between the first and second lateral edges;
• a first electrode layer disposed vertically over the ceramic layer, wherein the first electrode layer contains a first tab portion extending to the first lateral edge of the ceramic layer, the first electrode layer further defining a first cut-out region;
• a second electrode layer disposed vertically beneath the ceramic layer, wherein the second electrode layer contains a second tab portion extending to the first lateral edge of the ceramic layer, the second electrode layer further defining a second cut-out region;
• wherein the first tab portion of the first electrode layer is offset from the second tab portion of the second electrode layer in the longitudinal direction so that a first gap region is formed within which the first tab portion does not overlap the second tab portion, and further wherein the first cut-out region at least partially overlaps the second cut-out region.
