Patent ID: 7760485

Claim:
A capacitor comprising: a laminated dielectric structure having three layers stacked on one another; a first internal conductor being bounded by a first end and a second end and disposed between the first layer and the second layer of said laminated dielectric structure, said first internal conductor having a first current flowing therethrough in a given direction, said first current inducing a first parasitic inductance therewith; a second internal conductor being bounded by a third end and a fourth end and disposed between said second layer and the third layer of said laminated dielectric structure and aligned with said first internal conductor and having a substantially similar shape to said first internal conductor, said second internal conductor having a second current equal to said first current and flowing therethrough in a direction opposite said given direction, said second current inducing a second parasitic inductance therewith; said second parasitic inductance being equal and opposite to said first parasitic inductance; said capacitor having an overall parasitic inductance; and, said first parasitic inductance and said second parasitic inductance coupling to substantially cancel said overall parasitic inductance of said capacitor.
