Controlled ESR low inductance multilayer ceramic capacitor

A multilayer ceramic capacitor assembly capable of exhibiting low high-frequency inductance and a controlled equivalent series resistance (ESR) while maintaining a useful capacitance value includes respective pluralities of first and second electrode elements interleaved to form a stack. Controlled ESR is achieved either through inclusion of specific types of materials or through alteration of the shape of various component parts. A resistive material may be used in typical end terminations, via terminations, electrode elements or connective tab structures. Additionally, the dielectric may be made lossy so as to enhance resistivity without overly affecting device capacitance. Still further, an additional layer of resistive material may be added to an outer device surface to connect filled-via terminations to end terminations or radial resistive prints may be used to only partially fill the vias. Finally, various electrode element configurations, such as flat plate, serpentine, mesh, L-, O- or U-shaped patterns, may be employed.

The self-resonance insertion loss dip of a feedthrough capacitor is reduced or eliminated by raising the equivalent series resistance of the capacitor, thus minimizing the capacitor Q. The equivalent series resistance of the capacitor can be raised by forming voids in the active and / or ground electrode plates of the capacitor. The electrode plates may be formed so as to have a relatively reduced thickness, or a relatively increased thickness. A conductive material having a relatively high resistivity may be used to form the active and / or ground electrode plates of the capacitor.
