Abstract
A tunable, extended range, multilayered ceramic chip capacitor for incorporation into a plurality of substrate designs of micro-miniature circuitry and hybrid integrated circuits, comprising a multilayered ceramic chip capacitor; said chip having an electrode pattern as both upper and lower electrode layers embedded within the dielectric, forming a homogeneous chip capacitor structure. The capacitance range of the said chip capacitor is extended by the addition of a rotor plate positioned over a portion of said electrode pattern by a rotor contact spring which also provides a rotor contact terminal, such that said rotor plate may be rotated over the stator portion of said electrode pattern to provide a precisely tunable extended range of capacitance, a stator terminal spring to provide means to grip said extended range chip capacitor and means for circuit connection.
