Abstract
An electrical multi-layer component includes a body having a stack of ceramic layers, with a top and a bottom. First and second connection surfaces are on the bottom of the body. Electrode surfaces are in metallization layers among the ceramic layers. Via contacts are between metallization layers. At least one of the via contacts is connected electrically to an electrode surface or to a connection surface. An electrode surface connected to one of the connection surfaces, through a corresponding via contact, is a first electrode structure or a second electrode structure. At least one of the first or second electrode structures includes a via contact that has a blind end. A shortest distance between the first and second electrode structures is a vertical distance from the blind end to: (i) a metallization layer above or below the blind end, or (ii) a blind end of another electrode structure.
