Abstract

A capacitor component includes a body including an active layer and an upper cover and a lower cover disposed on an upper part and a lower part of the active layer, respectively; first internal electrodes and second internal electrodes disposed inside the active layer; a first active via and a second active via extending in a thickness direction of the active layer to be connected to the first and second internal electrodes, respectively; first and second cover vias extending in a thickness direction of the lower cover to be electrically connected to the first and second active vias and disposed at an interval narrower than an interval between the first and second active vias; and first and second lower electrodes disposed in a lower surface of the lower cover to be connected to the first and second cover vias, respectively.

Claims (46)

1. A capacitor component, comprising:

a body including an active layer and an upper cover and a lower cover disposed on an upper part and a lower part of the active layer, respectively;

first internal electrodes and second internal electrodes disposed inside the active layer;

a first active via and a second active via extending in a thickness direction of the active layer to be connected to the first and second internal electrodes, respectively;

first and second cover vias extending in a thickness direction of the lower cover to be electrically connected to the first and second active vias and disposed at an interval narrower than an interval between the first and second active vias; and

first and second lower electrodes disposed on a surface of the lower cover to be connected to the first and second cover vias, respectively,

wherein the first and second cover vias are aligned with respective ends of the first and second lower electrodes.

2. The capacitor component of claim 1 , further comprising:

first and second connection patterns connecting the first and second active vias to the first and second cover vias, respectively.

3. The capacitor component of claim 1 , wherein the first and second lower electrodes extend in an outer side surface direction of the lower cover.

4. The capacitor component of claim 1 , wherein the first and second internal electrodes are not disposed in the upper cover.

5. The capacitor component of claim 1 , wherein the first and second internal electrodes are not disposed in the lower cover.

6. The capacitor component of claim 1 , wherein the first and second cover vias are disposed further inwardly than the first and second active vias with respect to outer side surfaces of the body.

7. The capacitor component of claim 1 , wherein the first and second active vias extend to the upper cover to be exposed to an exterior of the body.

8. The capacitor component of claim 7 , further comprising:

an insulating protective layer covering the first and second active vias exposed to the exterior of the body.

9. The capacitor component of claim 7 , further comprising:

first and second upper electrodes connected to the first and second active vias, respectively, exposed to the exterior of the body.

10. The capacitor component of claim 1 , further comprising:

third and fourth cover vias extending in a thickness direction of the upper cover to be electrically connected to the first and second active vias and disposed at an interval narrower than the interval between the first and second active vias.

11. The capacitor component of claim 10 , further comprising:

third and fourth connection patterns connecting the first and second active vias to the third and fourth cover vias, respectively.

12. The capacitor component of claim 10 , further comprising:

third and fourth upper electrodes disposed on an upper surface of the upper cover to be connected to the third and fourth cover vias, respectively.

13. The capacitor component of claim 10 , wherein the capacitor component has a vertically symmetrical structure with respect to a center.

14. The capacitor component of claim 1 , wherein the first active via penetrates through the second internal electrodes and is not connected to the second internal electrodes.

15. The capacitor component of claim 1 , wherein the second active via penetrates through the first internal electrodes and is not connected to the first internal electrodes.

16. A capacitor component, comprising:

a body including an active layer and an upper cover and a lower cover disposed on an upper part and a lower part of the active layer, respectively;

first internal electrodes and second internal electrodes disposed inside the active layer;

a first active via and a second active via extending in a thickness direction of the active layer to be connected to the first and second internal electrodes, respectively;

first and second cover vias extending in a thickness direction of the lower cover to be electrically connected to the first and second active vias, and being disposed closer to a center axis of the body in the thickness direction than the first and second active vias; and

first and second lower electrodes disposed on a lower surface of the lower cover to be connected to the first and second cover vias, respectively,

wherein, in a bottom view of the capacitor component, a region defined between the first and second cover vias is devoid of at least one of the first and second lower electrodes.

17. The capacitor component of claim 16 , further comprising:

first and second connection patterns connecting the first and second active vias to the first and second cover vias, respectively.

18. The capacitor component of claim 16 , wherein the first and second lower electrodes extend in an outer side surface direction of the lower cover.

19. The capacitor component of claim 16 , wherein the first and second internal electrodes are not disposed in the upper cover nor in the lower cover.

20. A capacitor component, comprising:

a body including an active layer and an upper cover and a lower cover disposed on an upper part and a lower part of the active layer, respectively;

first internal electrodes and second internal electrodes disposed inside the active layer;

a first active via and a second active via extending in a thickness direction of the active layer to be connected to the first and second internal electrodes, respectively;
