Claims14
A method, comprising:
- constructing a capacitor by forming a dielectric body between a first vertically-oriented plate having a first terminal coupled to a first bottom side and a second vertically-oriented plate having a second terminal coupled to a second bottom side, wherein the capacitor has terminals along only the bottom side;
- forming a plurality of first vertically-oriented plates to couple to the first terminal;
- coupling the plurality of first vertically-oriented plates to the first terminal;
- forming a plurality of second vertically-oriented plates to couple to the second terminal;
- and
- coupling the plurality of second vertically-oriented plates to the second terminal;
- and
- wherein the plurality of first vertically-oriented plates and the plurality of second vertically-oriented plates have a height in the vertical direction that is greater than a horizontal thickness of the capacitor including a combined thickness of the plurality of first vertically-oriented plates and the plurality of second vertically-oriented plates.
