Abstract
An improved structure for a thin multilayer capacitor where the electrodes are formed only on a portion of the ends of the package to reduce the footprint on the circuit board and the amount of noble metal used for each unit. The improved structure results from a manufacturing method that has additional advantages of reduced fabrication costs and fewer manufacturing steps.
