Title: Film capacitor and the method of forming the same

Abstract

A film capacitor is presented. The film capacitor includes a thermally conductive support. The thermally conductive support includes a core including a first end and a second end. The thermally conductive support further includes a protrusion extending from at least one of the first end and the second end of the core, where at least one of the core and the protrusion includes a phase change material. Further, the film capacitor also includes a plurality of films disposed on at least a portion of the thermally conductive support, where the plurality of films includes a plurality of electrode films and a dielectric film. Further, the thermally conductive support for the film capacitor and a method of forming the film capacitor are also presented.
