-Multilayer capacitors with high ripple current and high capacitance were manufactured.The electrical properties of these capacitors were characterized for potential application for DC-link capacitors in hybrid electric vehicle inverters. Internal electrode structures were designed to achieve high capacitance and reliability. A single multilayer capacitor showed 0.46 µF/cm 3 of capacitance, 0.65% of dielectric loss, and 1450 V to 1650 V of dielectric breakdown voltage depending on the design of the internal electrode. The capacitor module designed with several multilayer capacitors gave a total capacitance of 450 µF, which is enough for hybrid electric vehicles. In particular, an equivalent series resistance of 4.5 mΩ or less will result in 60 A rms , thereby reaching the allowed ripple current for hybrid electric vehicles.
