Abstract: A broadband multilayer ceramic capacitor may include a first external termination and a second external termination. A first portion of the first external termination may be spaced apart from a first portion of the second external termination by a first external termination spacing distance. A first active electrode layer may include a rectangular first active electrode connected with the first external termination. A second active electrode layer may include a rectangular second active electrode connected with the second external termination. An outermost active electrode layer closest to an outer surface of the capacitor may be spaced apart from the outer surface by an outermost-active-to-surface distance.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a multilayer ceramic capacitor that includes a plurality of active electrodes and at least one shield electrode that are each arranged within a monolithic body and parallel with a longitudinal direction. The capacitor may exhibit a first insertion loss value at a test frequency, which may be greater than about 2 GHz, in a first orientation relative to the mounting surface. The capacitor may exhibit a second insertion loss value at about the test frequency in a second orientation relative to the mounting surface and the capacitor is rotated 90 degrees or more about the longitudinal direction with respect to the first orientation. The longitudinal direction of the capacitor may be parallel with the mounting surface in each of the first and second orientations. The second insertion loss value may differ from the first insertion loss value by at least about 0.3 dB.

Abstract: Vertically oriented interposer stacks, assemblies, and methods are provided. For example, a vertically oriented interposer stack includes a plurality of interposers and a plurality of components. Each component is disposed between adjacent interposers. Each interposer includes a first side surface opposite a second side surface along the vertical direction. The first side surface and the second side surface each extend along the longitudinal direction from a first end surface to a second end surface. Each interposer has a first external termination formed on the first side surface and a second external termination formed on the first side surface. The first and second external terminations are spaced apart along the longitudinal direction. The interposers are stacked along the lateral direction such that the first external terminations are generally aligned with one another along the lateral direction and the second external terminations are generally aligned with one another along the lateral direction.

Abstract: A broadband multilayer ceramic capacitor can include at least one active electrode layer including a first active electrode and a second active electrode. The first active electrode can have a central portion extending away from a base portion in a longitudinal direction. The second active electrode can include at least one arm extending away from a base portion towards the first end and overlapping the central portion of the first active electrode. A first shield electrode in a shield electrode region can have a central portion extending from a base portion. A second shield electrode can include an arm overlapping the central portion of the first shield electrode in the longitudinal direction. The shield electrode region can be spaced apart from the active electrode region by a shield-to-active distance that is greater than an active electrode spacing distance between respective active electrodes of the plurality of active electrodes.
