Prismatic polymer monolithic capacitor structure that includes multiple interleaving radiation-cured polymer dielectric layers and metal layers. Method for fabrication of same. The chemical composition of polymer dielectric and the electrode resistivity parameters are chosen to maximize the capacitor self-healing properties and energy density, and to assure the stability of the capacitance and dissipation factor over the operating temperature range. The termination electrode that extends beyond the active capacitor area and beyond the polymer dielectric layers has a thickness larger than that used industrially to provide resistance to thermomechanical stress. The glass transition temperature of the polymer dielectric is specifically chosen to avoid mechanical relaxation from occurring in the operating temperature range, which prevents high moisture permeation (otherwise increasing a dissipation factor and electrode corrosion) into the structure. The geometry and shape of the capacitor are appropriately controlled to minimize losses when the capacitor is exposed to pulse and alternating currents.

A multilayer electronic component includes a first capacitor including a first multilayer body having a structure in which a plurality of internal electrodes and a plurality of dielectric layers are alternately stacked, a second capacitor including a second multilayer body disposed adjacent the first multilayer body, the second multilayer body connected to the first multilayer body in parallel, and the second multilayer body having a structure in which a plurality of internal electrodes and a plurality of dielectric layers are alternately stacked, a fixing member fixing the first and second multilayer bodies, a first lead terminal connected to a first end portion of the fixing member, and a second lead terminal connected to a second end portion of the fixing member.

Prismatic polymer monolithic capacitor structure operating at temperatures exceeding 140 C. and including multiple interleaving radiation-cured polymer dielectric layers and metal layers. Method for fabrication of same. The geometry of structure is judiciously chosen to increase sheet resistance of metal electrodes while reducing the capacitor's equivalent series resistance. Metal electrode layers are provided with a thickened peripheral portion to increase strength of terminating connections and are passivated to increase corrosion resistance. Materials for polymer dielectric layers are devised to ensure that the capacitor's dissipation factor remains substantially unchanged across the whole range of operating temperatures, to procure glass transition temperature that is no less than the desired operating temperature, and to optimize the absorption of ambient moisture by the polymeric layers.

A multilayer capacitor includes a laminate having a first side surface and a second side surface, a first side covering portion covering the first side surface, and a second side covering portion covering the second side surface. The laminate includes first conductor layers, second conductor layers, dielectric layers and insulating layers laminated in the z direction. Each first conductor layer is connected to the first side covering portion and spaced apart from the second side covering portion. Each second conductor layer is connected to the second side covering portion and spaced apart from the first side covering portion. The insulating layers have a lower dielectric strength than the dielectric layers. Each dielectric layer is sandwiched between a first conductor layer and a second conductor layer. The insulating layers include one sandwiched between two first conductor layers and one sandwiched between two second conductor layers.
