Patent ID: 7136272

Claim:
A capacitor, comprising: two or more conductive plates of a first polarity; two or more conductive plates of a second polarity, wherein the two or more plates of a second polarity are interleaved with the two or more conductive plates of a first polarity and are separated from the two or more plates of a first polarity by a nonconductive material; a terminal of a first polarity electrically connected to the two or more conductive plates of a first polarity in a location of the two or more plates of a first polarity that is remote from any edge of the two or more plates of a first polarity, such that the terminal of the first polarity electrically couples the two or more conductive plates of the first polarity together; and a terminal of a second polarity electrically connected to the two or more conductive plates of a second polarity in a location of the two or more plates of a second polarity that is remote from any edge of the two or more plates of a second polarity, such that the terminal of the second polarity electrically couples the two or more conductive plates of the second polarity together.
