An electronic device includes two or more conductive polymer layers sandwiched between two external electrodes and one or more internal electrodes. A three layer device is manufactured by: (1) providing a first laminated substructure comprising a first polymer layer between first and second metal layers, a second polymer layer, and a second laminated substructure comprising a third polymer layer between third and fourth metal layers; (2) forming first and second arrays of isolation apertures in the second and third metal layers, respectively; (3) laminating the first and second substructures to opposite surfaces of the second polymer layer; (4) forming first and second arrays of external electrodes in the first and fourth metal layers, respectively; (5) forming a plurality of first terminals, each connecting an external electrode in the second external electrode array to an electrode-defining area in the second metal layer, and a plurality of second terminals, each connecting an external electrode in the first external electrode array to an electrode-defining area in the third metal array; and (6) singulating the laminated structure into separate devices, each including a first polymer layer between a first external electrode and a first internal electrode, a second polymer layer between first and second internal electrodes, and a third polymer layer between the second internal electrode and a second external electrode. Each device includes a first terminal connecting the first internal electrode to the second external electrode, and a second terminal connecting the second internal electrode to the first external electrode.
