Abstract
A capacitor with a low parasitic inductance, which is particularly suited for use as a decoupling capacitor, that has a prismatic or polyhedral shape and includes a plurality of internal capacitor plates positioned and separated by dielectric material. The improvement is that each plate is provided with a tab that projects diagonally to a corner of the body with the edge of the tab exposed. A metal layer on the outside of the body electrically connects the plates in the desired sequence.
