A capacitor structure (100) is fabricated by forming a pattern of first dielectrics (120,125) over a foil (110), forming first electrodes (130) over the first dielectrics (120,125), and co-firing the first dielectrics and the first electrodes (130). Co-firing of the dielectrics and the electrodes alleviates cracking caused by differences in thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE) between the electrodes and the dielectrics. Co-firing also ensures a strong bond between the dielectrics and the electrodes. In addition, co-firing allows multi-layer capacitor structures to be constructed, and allows the capacitor electrodes to be formed from copper. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE> |
