Abstract
A process for providing terminations at the ends of chips for multilayer capacitors such a MLC capacitors includes applying thin films of metallization at the opposite ends of each chip and over the surface of the chip between the ends, and thereafter removing a porton of the thin films of metallization material intermediate the ends, to provide a monolithic multilayer capacitor having proper metallized end terminations. Preferably, the thin films are applied to cover the entire surface of each chip by sputtering thin film material onto a batch of tumbling chips.
