Patent ID: 7742276

Claim:
A laminated capacitor, comprising: a number of conductive layers including a top conductive layer and a bottom conductive layer, the conductive layers including a set of first conductive layers and a set of second conductive layers; a power via extending along a thickness direction of the laminated capacitor and arranged to extend from the top conductive layer to the bottom conductive layer, the power via being electrically coupled to the first conductive layers; a ground via extending along the thickness direction of the laminated capacitor and arranged to extend from the top conductive layer to the bottom conductive layer, the ground via being electrically coupled to the second conductive layers; and a supplemental via between the power via and the ground via, the supplemental via being shorter in length than the power via and the ground via, wherein the supplemental via is electrically coupled to one of the first conductive layers and the second conductive layers.
