Patent ID: 7741189

Claim:
A method of forming an embedded capacitor, comprising: providing a metallic foil; forming a dielectric layer over the metallic foil, said dielectric layer having a first surface opposite the metallic foil and a perimeter, said dielectric layer having an edge at the perimeter of said dielectric layer, said edge of the dielectric layer being at an angle to said first surface of the dielectric layer and at an angle to the metallic foil, said edge of the dielectric layer contacting the first surface of the dielectric layer and extending from the first surface of the dielectric layer towards the metallic foil; forming a first electrode over the entirety of said dielectric layer and at least a portion of said metallic foil, said first electrode completely covering and encapsulating both said first surface of the dielectric layer and said edge of the dielectric layer; and firing said metallic foil, dielectric layer and first electrode; etching the metallic foil to form a second electrode, said second electrode being electrically isolated from said first electrode.
