Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a multilayer capacitor, a circuit board containing the multilayer capacitor, and an integrated circuit package containing the multilayer capacitor. A multilayer capacitor includes a body containing alternating dielectric layers and internal electrode layers that each include a first electrode and a second, co-planar electrode, the first electrode having a main body with at least one lead tab extending from each of a top edge and a bottom edge thereof. The capacitor also includes a first external terminal and a second external terminal that each wrap from a top surface, along an end surface, to a bottom surface. The first external terminal is electrically connected to the first electrode of the first internal electrode layers along its lead tab leading edges, and the second external terminal is electrically connected to the first electrode of the second internal electrode layers along its lead tab leading edges.
