ABSTRACT:
Improved method steps for terminating multilayer electronic components are disclosed. Monolithic components are formed with plated terminations whereby the need for typical thick-film termination stripes is eliminated or greatly simplified. Such termination technology eliminates many typical termination problems and enables a higher number of terminations with finer pitch, which may be especially beneficial on smaller electronic components. Electrode and dielectric layers are provided in an interleaved arrangement and selected portions of the electrode layers are exposed. Electrically isolated anchor tabs may optionally be provided and exposed in some embodiments. Termination material is then plated to the exposed portions of the electrode layers until exposed portions of selected such portions thereof are connected. A variety of different plating techniques and termination materials may be employed in the formation of the subject self-determining plated terminations.
