Abstract: The invention relates to a hybrid capacitor which combines the functionality of a multi-layer capacitor and a single layer capacitor in one component. The multi-layer capacitor component is comprised of a series of interleaved plates alternatively connected to two terminations and spaced apart by a dielectric material. The single layer capacitor component is comprised of the outer of the series of interleaved plates and an additional plate connected to the opposite termination as the outer interleaved plate and separated from that plate by a second dielectric material. This combination of an SLC and an MLC into a single hybrid capacitor facilitates easy assembly and improves electrical performance over using a separate multi-layer capacitor and a single layer capacitor.
