    Abstract: Capacitor material for use in forming capacitors, is disclosed. More specifically, the invention is directed to capacitors formed from this material that have one or more discrete electrodes ( 314 ), each electrode ( 314 ) being exposed to at least two thicknesses of dielectric material ( 300 ). These electrodes ( 314 ) are surrounded by wider insulative material ( 312 ) such that the material can be cut, or patterned into capacitors having specific values. A single electrode can form a small value capacitor while still providing a larger conductive area for attaching the capacitor to associated circuitry. The thin dielectric ( 310 ) can be a tunable material so that the capacitance can be varied with voltage. The tunability can be increased by adding thin electrodes that interact with direct current.
