  • Patent number: 8320102
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a small, low-height capacitor device in which deterioration of characteristics such as leakage current is reduced. The capacitor device includes a supporting substrate 1; at least one capacitor element 21 disposed on the supporting substrate 1, including a dielectric layer 4 and a pair of electrodes 2 and 5 sandwiching the dielectric layer 4; and a sealant that seals the capacitor element 21 through a space 22. The dielectric layer 4 has an exposed part 23 exposed in the space 22. According to this structure, deterioration of the dielectric layer can be prevented, and a capacitor device exhibiting a good leakage current characteristic is obtained.
