Methodologies are disclosed for producing multilayer electronic devices using a single
screen printing mask. Plural layer devices are constructed by placing a common
mask in alternating positions among alternating
layers of support material such that, upon stacking of the plural
layers, complimentary
electrode structure is produced in alternating
layers. Support material may be varied to produce different devices, including capacitors, resistors, and varistors. Multilayer electronic devices include multiple layers providing adjacent printed complimentary
electrode layers having an upper surface, a lower surface, a
front edge, and a back edge, and with lateral end portions of combined first and second layers trimmed so as to
expose selected conductive patterns. Termination material is applied to at least such trimmed lateral end portions. A
low inductance controlled
equivalent series resistance (ESR) multilayer
capacitor, includes at least two different pairs of electrodes, some of which have interdigitated respective side tabs. Termination material may be associated with such electrodes. In some instances, some electrodes may have dummy or anchor tabs associated with them but not electrically connected with them, to facilitate the formation of termination material at designated locations.
