is complex and expensive.
In accordance with the present invention there is provided a thin film capacitor comprising a thin film structure on an insulating substrate, wherein the thin film structure provides a capacitor element including a dielectric film of the capacitor, and first and second conductive film portions which each provide a capacitor plate, and wherein the thin film structure also provides a protection element connected electrically in parallel with the capacitor element, the protection element having a conduction path that operates at a voltage lower than the breakdown voltage of the capacitor dielectric film.
This thin film structure in accordance with the invention is advantageous for protecting the thin film capacitor against damage that may otherwise result due to the application of a voltage in excess of theManchester City cruised to a 5-0 win over LSK Kvinner in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie in Norway. Jane Ross powered home two headers in four minutes to seal the contest after goals from Demi Stokes, Isobel Christiansen and Karen Emslie. The victory maintained City’s 100% start to the season and built on their 6-0 aggregate win over the Austrian side St Polten in the previous round.

It took City a little time to get going in the Arasen Stadium but once Stokes had put them ahead they knocked the ball around and Karen Bardsley was a virtual spectator in the goal for long periods.

Almost an hour had gone when she was called into action by Marte Berget and City soon put the result beyond
