Claim Text:
1. A dielectric thin film element, comprising: a capacitance section having a dielectric layer with an upper surface and a lower surface, a first electrode layer on the upper surface, and a second electrode layer on the lower surface; a protection layer on the capacitance section; a first opening extending though the protection layer to expose the first electrode layer; a second opening extending through the protection layer, the first electrode layer and the dielectric layer, to expose the second electrode layer; a first interconnect layer having a first portion disposed on the protection layer and a second portion that extends through the first opening to the first electrode layer; a second interconnect layer having a first portion disposed on the protection layer and a second portion that extends through the second opening to the second electrode layer; a pair of external electrodes electrically coupled to the first and second interconnect layers, respectively; first surface metal layers disposed on the respective second portions of each of the first and second interconnect layers; and second surface metal layers disposed directly on the respective first portions of the first and second interconnect layers.
