we can add two more:

 

11. DuPont, 3M, and Sandmina have had the copper electrode/CMBT polymer in their offerings for a dozen years, and have many intertwined patents. Any prospective licencee will have to review that thicket to find a viable path. All 3 of those companies are not timid about protecting their technology and market.

 

12. With that structure of copper/CMBT-polymer, physical handling demand a minimum thickness of about 20 microns/layer. They all have a dielectric constant(K) of around 30. Modern commodity-level MLC's have even a mid-range K of 3000, and layer thickness of 1 micron or less. So, in the same thickness, the Multi Layer Ceramic capacitor technology can fit in 1000 times the capacitance!  Think thats competitive?
