bridge and at the same or a different edge to another of said ceramic layers
adjacent thereto by a second ceramic bridge;
a plurality of electrode layers comprising an electrode layer between and bonded to
each adjacent pair of said ceramic layers, said electrode layers separating said
adjacent pair of ceramic layers, wherein said electrode layers are divided into a
first set of electrode layers and a second set of electrode layers, said first set
electrode layers alternating with said second set electrode layers in said body,
and said electrode layers of each of said sets being electrically interconnected
with one another and being electrically isolated from said electrode layers of the
other of said sets in said body; and wherein:
said first and second electrode layers extend into a first one of said sides, said first
electrode layers alternating with said second electrode layers in said
capacitor;
said ceramic bridges join said ceramic layers at edges along a second side of said
ceramic body opposite said first side such that said ceramic body has a
comb-shaped cross-section;
each of said electrode layers includes a lug unitary therewith and comprising an
electrically conductive material extending into the bridge adjacent thereto
over a minor portion of the length of said bridge, said first lugs aligning with
one another, and said second lugs aligning with one another but not with said
first lugs;
said lugs are exposed at said second side; and
said first lugs are electrically interconnected with one another and said second lugs
are electrically interconnected with one another to provide said first and second
set, respectively, of electrode layers.
