Patent ID: 7355835

Claim:
A stacked capacitor formed by stacking a plurality of capacitor elements, wherein each of said capacitor elements comprises a conductor plate, a first band including an insulator and disposed around said conductor plate, a second band including an insulator and disposed around said conductor plate so as to be substantially parallel to said first band, an insulating coating covering a region of said conductor plate sandwiched between said first and second bands, a first electrode including an electrolytic material and formed on said insulating coating, and a second electrode including said conductor plate and formed on an outer side of at least one of said first and second bands, said first electrode of said capacitor elements are electrically connected to each other through both of a first conductive path formed by adjoining the facing two first electrodes of the adjacent two capacitor elements and a second conductive path connecting in parallel said first electrodes of said plurality of capacitor elements to each other, and said second electrodes are electrically connected to each other through a third conductive path connecting in parallel said second electrodes to each other.
