Abstract

Abstract A system of creating coils, windings, inductors and capacitors utilizes wafer stacks having suitable pass-throughs and voids in the insulation portion of the wafer to permit one of several different types of these electrical elements to be made according to the particular orientation and order in which the wafers are stacked, each wafer comprising a thin insulator panel with a conductive film across one surface, which could possibly be created photographically.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 300 words
A superimposed wafer electrical element comprising: (a) a series of wafers each having an insulative sheet and a conductor layer bonded to said insulative sheet; (b) portions of said insulative sheet being removed to define at least one pass-through aperture and having a contact electrically connected to said conductor layer and passing through said aperture; (c) said wafers being arranged in a stack such that by virtue of the electrical integrity established by the contact of each wafer contacting the subsequent wafer in said stack, an electrical element having pre-determined properties is created; (d) said wafers may be flipped about a rotational axis for stacking, and said wafers fall into two types arranged relative to the rotation axis as follows: (e) a type (a) wafer having receiving and pass-through contacts in a row parallel to and on one side of said axis and a void positioned at the virtual image of said receiving contact on the opposite side of said axis; and (f) a type (b) wafer having pass-through and receiving contacts positioned to align with the receiving and pass-through contacts of said type (a) wafers respectively, and defining a void positioned at the virtual image of said receiving contact on the opposite side of said axis, and including two insulator sheets, type (a) insulators having a void coincident with the receiving contact and the void of said type (a) wafers, and type (b) insulators having a void coinciding with the receiving contact and void of said type (b) wafers, whereby said wafers may be alternatively stacked to create a coil, or alternatively stacked in the following order to create a capacitor: Type (a) wafer, type (b) wafer upside down, type (b) insulator, type (b) wafer, type (a) wafer upside down, type (a) insulator, with this pattern repeating as desired.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 300 words
