Abstract
A multi-layer capacitor is constructed to minimize equivalent series inductance (ESL) and includes first inner electrodes and second inner electrodes disposed opposite to each other. The first inner electrodes are electrically connected to a first outer terminal electrode via a first feed-through conductor and the second inner electrodes are electrically connected to a second outer terminal electrode via a second feed-through conductor. The first and second feed-through conductors are arranged in such a manner that magnetic fields induced by current flowing through the inner electrodes are cancelled. In addition, some of these feed-through conductors are arranged to define first and second peripheral feed-through conductors connected to the first and second inner electrodes at each periphery of the first and second inner electrodes.
