Patent ID: 7974072

Claim:
A multilayer capacitor array having a plurality of multilayer capacitor devices formed in a single multilayer structure, the multilayer capacitor array comprising: a capacitor body formed by depositing a plurality of dielectric layers and having first and second side surfaces opposite to each other; a plurality of first polarity internal electrodes and second polarity internal electrodes, disposed oppositely to each other in the capacitor body, interposing the dielectric layer therebetween, and formed of a single electrode plate comprising a single lead, respectively; and a plurality of first polarity external electrodes and second polarity external electrodes, formed on the first side surface and second side surface, respectively, and connected to a correspondent polarity internal electrode via the lead, the first polarity external electrode formed on the first side surface and the second polarity external electrode formed on the second side surface, wherein four or more internal electrodes forming a single block are sequentially disposed in a deposition direction, and a plurality of the blocks are repeatedly deposited in the deposition direction, wherein the leads of the four or more internal electrodes forming the block do not overlap with each other in the deposition direction, and are connected to external electrodes in different locations, respectively, and wherein the numbers of the first polarity external electrodes and the second polarity external electrodes are two or more, respectively, and are identical to each other, a multilayer capacitor device consists of the two or more blocks and a total number of the multilayer capacitor devices in the multilayer capacitor array is identical to the number of the first polarity external electrodes.
