CAPACITOR FABRICATION USING NANO MATERIALS

A multi-layer capacitor includes an anode, a cathode, a dielectric material, a first endcap, and a second endcap. The anode and cathode are formed of one or more layers of interlaced conductive material. The dielectric material is interposed between each of the layers of the anode and the cathode. The first and second endcaps configured to interconnect each of the layers of the anode and cathode, respectively. The endcaps are formed of conductive nano material. A method of forming an endcap of a capacitor configured to interconnect one or more layers of conductive material includes the step of applying conductive nano material to exposed conductive surfaces of at least one of an anode and a cathode of the one or more layers of conductive material. The method also includes the step of exposing the nano material to a source of energy effective to initiate self-sintering of the nano material.
