A dielectric fluid is provided comprising a natural bio-sourced oil and one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of phosphite compounds. It has been discovered that addition of one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of phosphite compounds to dielectric fluids comprising oil impart a stabilizing effect that reduces, inhibits or prevents formation of stray gases in the dielectric fluid during ordinary use.

A capacitor that includes a substrate, a dielectric portion, and a conductor layer. The dielectric portion includes a thick film portion and a thin film portion. The thick film portion has a thickness larger than the average thickness of the dielectric portion in a direction perpendicular to the first main surface. The thin film portion has a thickness smaller than the average thickness of the dielectric portion in the direction perpendicular to the first main surface. The thick film portion has a larger relative permittivity than the thin film portion.

A multilayer ceramic electronic component includes a ceramic body including dielectric layers and first and second internal electrodes, first and second external electrode disposed on first and second external surfaces of the ceramic body to be electrically connected to the first and second internal electrodes, respectively, and an interposer including an insulating body having first and second recess regions and first and second terminal electrodes. The first and second recess regions are disposed in a central region of the insulating body in a width direction. A/B is within a range from 0.14 or more to 0.51 or less, where A is an area of each of the first and second recess regions, viewed in a cross-section in length and width directions, and B is an area of each of the first and second terminal electrodes, viewed in the cross-section in the length and width directions.

An improved trench capacitor structure is disclosed that allows for the formation of narrower capacitors. An example capacitor structure includes a first conductive layer on the sidewalls of an opening through a thickness of a dielectric layer, a capacitor dielectric layer on the first conductive layer, a second conductive layer on the capacitor dielectric layer, and a conductive fill material on the second conductive layer. The capacitor dielectric layer laterally extends above the opening and along a top surface of the dielectric layer, and the conductive fill material fills a remaining portion of the opening.
