PURPOSE: To provide a capacitor capable of making sufficient connection electrically and mechanically with wiring on a circuit board by a method wherein a lower electrode, a dielectric thin film, an upper electrode, an insulating layer, and a pair of electrode terminals which are connected to the electrodes respectively and whose end faces are arranged on the same plane are provided.
CONSTITUTION: A lower electrode 12 formed on a board 11, a dielectric thin film 13 provided onto the lower electrode 12, an upper electrode 14 built on the thin film 13, and an insulating layer 15 formed on the board 11 including the upper electrode 14 are provided. A set of electrode terminals 20 and 21 which are connected to the electrodes 12 and 14 respectively and arranged so as to position their end faces on the same plane is provided. By this setup, the capacitor part of this design can be lessened in number of processes required for being mounted on a circuit board as compared with a conventional thin film capacitor.
