Abstract:
An apparatus and associated method for an energy-storage device (e.g., a capacitor) having a plurality of electrically conducting electrodes including a first electrode and a second electrode separated by a non-electrically conducting region, and wherein the non-electrically conducting region further includes a non-uniform permittivity (K) value. In some embodiments, the method includes providing a substrate; fabricating a first electrode on the substrate; and fabricating a second electrode such that the second electrode is separated from the first electrode by a non-electrically conducting region, wherein the non-electrically conducting region has a non-uniform permittivity (K) value. The capacitor devices will find benefit for use in electric vehicles, of all kinds, uninterruptible power supplies, wind turbines, mobile phones, and the like requiring wide temperature ranges from several hundreds of degrees C. down to absolute zero, consumer electronics operating in a temperature range of −55 degrees C. to 125 degrees C.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus comprising:\n a capacitor that includes:\n an anode; and \n a cathode, \n wherein the cathode has a surface facing the anode that is covered by a first dielectric film having a dielectric constant of at least ten, \n wherein the anode has a surface facing the cathode that includes a refractory material, \n wherein the cathode is formed by a process that includes photolithography, \n wherein the capacitor maintains a vacuum in a region that separates the surface of the anode that includes a refractory material and the first dielectric coating on the cathode, and \n wherein the cathode surface maintains an operational emission current of less than one ampere per square meter.
