Capacitor featuring internal electrode with pad

Abstract

A monolithic capacitor chip includes a first electrode layer enclosed in a ceramic which comprises a ceramic layer. The first electrode is on one side of the ceramic layer. A second electrode is formed as a pad for contact with the other side of the ceramic layer. In one embodiment of the present invention, the first electrode is accessed electrically by way of an end cap. In another embodiment the first electrode is accessed electrically by way of a conductive via through the ceramic layer.
