ABSTRACT:
A multilayer electronic component includes a plurality of dielectric layers interleaved with a plurality of first and second polarity electrode layers. Internal and/or external anchor tabs may also be selectively interleaved with the dielectric layers. Portions of the electrodes and anchor tabs are exposed along the periphery of the electronic component in respective groups and thin-film plated deposition is formed thereon by electroless and/or electrolytic plating techniques. A solder dam layer is provided over a given component surface and formed to expose predetermined areas where solder barrier and flash materials may be deposited before attaching solder preforms. Some embodiments include plated terminations substantially covering selected component surfaces to facilitate with heat dissipation and signal isolation for the electronic components.
