Abstract:
A thin film multilayer capacitor comprising:a substrate and a laminated body comprising a plurality of dielectric layers and electrode layers on said substrate; the laminated body having a substrate side and a surface side opposite the substrate side; wherein there are at least three solder bumps adapted for external connection on the surface side of said laminated body; wherein said electrode layers comprise a plurality of first electrode layers and a plurality of second electrode layers which are electrically isolated by said dielectric layers, a first electrode layer being laminated with a second electrode layer in an alternate manner with a dielectric layer lying therebetween and partially covering said first and second electrode layers so that said plurality of first electrode layers are electrically connected with each other at portions where said dielectric layers are not present, and said plurality of second electrode layers are electrically connected with each other at the other portions where said dielectric layers are not present; further comprising a protective film which has openings on the surface side of said laminated body, and wherein each of said solder bumps electrically connect to an electrode layer at said openings.
