Abstract
A monolithic or essentially monolithic single layer capacitor with high structural strength and capacitance. Sheets of green-state ceramic dielectric material and ceramic/metal composite material are laminated together, diced into individual chips, and fired to sinter the ceramic together. The composite material contains an amount of metal sufficient to render the composite conductive whereby the composite may be used for one or both electrodes and for mounting the capacitor to the pc board. Vertically-oriented surface mountable capacitors and hybrid capacitors are provided.
