Abstract:
A capacitor comprising a group of multiple power plates alternating with a group of multiple ground plates, the group of multiple power plates including a lowest power plate and the group of multiple ground plates including a lowest ground plate; for each group of alternating plates, a side electrode connecting all members of each respective group of alternating plates to each other, the dielectric material surrounding both groups of alternating plates and the side electrode for each respective group of alternating plates; at least one electrical connection within the perimeter of the cross section of the capacitor to the lowest power plate; and at least one electrical connection within the perimeter of the cross section of the capacitor to the lowest ground plate, in which the electrical connections to each of the lowest power plate and the lowest ground plate are located within the perimeter formed by the lowest power plate and the lowest ground plate.
