Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a composite structure combining a polypropylene film (for low dielectric loss) with a high permittivity ceramic layer (for high capacitance). The ceramic layer is formed on one surface of the polypropylene film, creating a composite dielectric structure that achieves both low loss tangent and high electrostatic capacitance simultaneously.
