Patent ID: 7061747

Claim:
A stacked capacitor comprising: a dielectric element having at least one side surface and comprising a plurality of stacked sheet-like dielectric layers each defining a predetermined surface area; a plurality of internal electrodes alternately stacked with the dielectric layers, each internal electrode comprising a conductor falling within the predetermined surface area and having a first edge positioned near the one side surface, the dielectric layers and the internal electrodes defining a stacking direction; a plurality of extraction electrodes each extending from each first edge to the one side surface without contact with one another, and having a width W at the one side surface in a direction orthogonal to the stacking direction, a distance G being defined between opposing sides of neighboring extraction electrodes in the direction orthogonal to the stacking direction; wherein the plurality of extraction electrodes has the geometrical relationship of 1.2≦W/G≦4.0.
