Capacitor device

The technique described herein targets a modified capacitor (relative to a standard capacitor) in which a first conductor is coupled to a second conductor via a distributed conductive interconnect array through a dielectric layer separating the conductors. The interconnect array facilitates surface current flow between the first and second conductors and determines the capacitor's self-resonant frequency. This conductive interconnect array (or extended area), absent in standard capacitors, allows the capacitor to achieve a higher self-resonant frequency, for example, substantially stable capacitance in the high-frequency radio frequency range, including millimeter-wave frequencies. This further improves the quality factor. The improvements brought about by the technique described herein facilitate the achievement of more optimized surface current densities. Modified capacitors offer advantages in various circuits, such as impedance converters in antenna elements or millimeter-wave frequency phase shifters.

The multilayer ceramic capacitor 1 is configured such that when a straight line that passes through a center part in the length direction L of the layered body 2 and a center part in the width direction W of the layered body 2 and extends parallel to the layering direction T is a reference line SL, the end surface internal electrode 20 that is closest to a first principal surface AA is a first outermost end surface internal electrode 20A, the distance along the reference line SL between the first outermost end surface internal electrode 20A and the first principal surface AA is a1, and the distance along a first end surface CA between one end part in the width direction W of the first outermost end surface internal electrode 20A and the first principal surface AA is b1, b1<a1.
