A single layer capacitive device including a portion of pre-fired ceramic
material and one or more terminations is formed with manufacturing steps
that are easily modified to customize size and other aspects of such
devices. The single layer devices may be utilized by themselves or
selectively combined with MLCs to form integrated capacitor assemblies
yielding many desirable performance characteristics in a monolithic
assembly. An exemplary integrated capacitor assembly advantageously
provides customized frequency response and capacitance in limited real
estate. Predictable and generally constant or "flat" impedance versus
frequency is afforded mainly by the properties of the single layer
device, while higher capacitance is provided mainly from features of one
or more associated MLCs. High structural integrity of exemplary
integrated capacitor assemblies is achieved due to the disclosed
attachment methods. Exemplary integrated capacitor assembly embodiments
of the presently disclosed technology have been found to provide
effective DC blocking from 20 kHz to 40 GHz.
