Patent ID: 8390982

Claim:
A thin-film capacitor comprising: a substrate; a capacitor unit disposed above the substrate and including at least one dielectric thin film and two electrode layers; a protective layer covering at least part of the capacitor unit; a lead conductor electrically connected to one of the electrode layers of the capacitor unit; and an outer connecting terminal disposed above the lead conductor, wherein the lead conductor includes a connecting part disposed in an opening in the protective layer and electrically connected to one of the electrode layers of the capacitor unit, and a wiring part extending over the protective layer; and the outer connecting terminal is disposed above the wiring part; as seen through in a direction in which the layers are stacked, a plurality of first outer connecting terminals and a plurality of second outer connecting terminals are arranged in a grid pattern alternately in both a first direction and a second direction of the grid; the connecting part of the lead conductor including the wiring part having the first outer connecting terminal disposed thereabove is disposed between the first outer connecting terminal and the second outer connecting terminal adjacent to the first outer connecting terminal in the first direction, and is electrically connected to one of the electrode layers; and the connecting part of the lead conductor including the wiring part having the second outer connecting terminal disposed thereabove is disposed between the second outer connecting terminal and the first outer connecting terminal adjacent to the second outer connecting terminal in the second direction, and is electrically connected to the other of the electrode layers.
