Abstract
The present subject matter is directed to methods and apparatus for providing a multilayer array component with interdigitated electrode layer portions configured to selectively provide signal filtering characteristics, over-voltage transient suppression capabilities, and land grid array (LGA) terminations. Embodiments of the present subject matter may define a single capacitor, a capacitor array, or a multilayer vertically integrated array with configurable equivalent electrical characteristics including equivalent series inductance (ESL), equivalent series resistance (ESR), and configurable capacitance and voltage clamping and transient suppression capabilities.
