Ultra broadband capacitor

Abstract

The invention provides an ultra broadband capacitor. Disclosed are apparatus and methodology for inexpensive realization of one or more secondary capacitors within a monolithic body that already includes a first, larger capacitor to provide ultra wideband structures. Alternating layers of electrodes are provided with arm portions that embrace portions of adjacent electrode layers so as to create additional coupling effects within the capacitor structure thereby producing multiple additional equivalent capacitor structures within the device.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject matter relates to ultra wideband capacitors, and in particular to simplified structures that facilitate the formation of multiple capacitive regions in internal electrode layers of multilayer ceramic capacitor structures and methods of fabricating the same. Background technique [0002] The variety of modern technology applications has created a need for efficient electronic components and integrated circuits for use therein. Capacitors are fundamental components for filtering, coupling, bypassing, and other aspects of modern applications that can include wireless communications, alarm systems, radar systems, circuit switching, matching networks, and many others. The dramatic increase in the speed and memory density of integrated circuits has required, inter alia, the development of coupling capacitor technology. Performance characteristics become progressively more important when large capacitive coupling capacitors are subjected to the h...
