Capacitors, couplers, devices including same and methods of manufacturing same

摘要

Capacitors are provided comprising a first plate, a second plate spaced from the first plate and a dielectric between the first and second plates. In certain embodiments the plates are arranged generally opposite each other and each is shaped in a periodically repeating pattern that is spatially out of phase with the other so that misregistration of the plates is compensated. In certain embodiments, a floating equipotential conductor is positioned between the plates and has a larger dimension than a corresponding dimension of the plates so that misregistration of the plates is compensated. Methods of manufacturing the capacitors are also provided.
