US Patent 7963999 Method for connecting electrodes having apertures

One embodiment includes a method that includes positioning a first substantially planar electrode including material defining a first aperture into a capacitor stack in alignment with a second substantially planar electrode such that a first non-aperture portion of the second substantially planar electrode at least partially overlays the first aperture and joining the first substantially planar electrode to the second substantially planar electrode proximal the material defining the first aperture and the first non-aperture portion of the second substantially planar electrode.
