Abstract
A capacitive structure is provided that includes secondary stacks of superposed secondary electrodes that each include transverse branches connected via a longitudinal branch, means for connecting the superposed secondary electrodes of each of the stacks, first and second means for successively and alternately connecting so as to constitute a first secondary group of secondary stacks and a second secondary group of secondary stacks, at least two principal stacks of superposed principal electrodes which each include transverse branches that are connected via a longitudinal branch such that the transverse branches of the principal electrodes and the transverse branches of the secondary electrodes of the rows extend opposite one another and between one another in an alternating fashion, means for connecting the superposed principal electrodes of each of the principal stacks, and means for connecting the principal stacks so as to constitute a group of stacks of principal electrodes.
