Patent ID: 8380302

Claim:
An implantable medical device capacitor comprising: a first electrode including: a first slot extending from a perimeter of the first electrode to an interior of the first electrode; and a first interconnection area substantially centrally located along an edge of the first electrode and substantially proximate an end of the first slot, the end being disposed in the interior of the first electrode; and a second electrode separated from the first electrode by a first distance, the second electrode including: a second slot extending from a perimeter of the second electrode to an interior of the second electrode; and a second interconnection area substantially centrally located along an edge of the second electrode and substantially proximate an end of the second slot, the end being disposed in the interior of the second electrode; wherein the first and second slots are configured to at least partially segment surface areas of the first and second electrodes, respectively, to reduce a radial current loop size in each of the first and second electrodes.
