ABSTRACT:
A variable, free form shaped capacitor structure formed by casting tape on a belt casting machine, screen printing the tape with thick film metal ink, pressing and curing the printed tape stack, laminating the printed stack, and cutting a free form nonsymmetrical capacitor outline based on the shape of the item in which the capacitor will be stored. The free form capacitor can be cut using a variety of cutting devices, including, a routing machine, a razor blade, a water jet, or a laser. The outline can have any shape, including straight lines, angles, convex or concave geometry. Additionally, the various geometrical shapes can exist simultaneously within the same capacitor structure. Upon achievement of the desired shape, ceramic sintering is performed to form a single monolithic capacitor structure.
