Abstract
Capacitor devices having multiple capacitors with similar nominal capacitances are described. The capacitors may be multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) and may be fabricated employing class 2 materials. The arrangement of the electrodes in the device may reduce relative variations between the capacitors of the device. The capacitor devices may be allow high performance and compact electrical circuits that may employ matched capacitors.
