1. A storage capacitor comprising:
- a dielectric structure having one or more intentionally textured surfaces having surface features in excess of 10 microns in height that is a flowable dielectric material molded into a dielectric structure, and converted into a solid dielectric structure, wherein;
the dielectric material has an effective relative permittivity greater than or about 500; and
two or more electrodes having a first electrode disposed on a first surface of the dielectric structure and a second electrode disposed on a second surface of the dielectric structure, wherein the second electrode is physically separated from the first electrode by the dielectric structure.

Abstract
Devices for storing energy at a high density are described. The devices include a solid dielectric that is preformed to present a high exposed area onto which an electrode is formed. The dielectric material has a high dielectric constant (high relative permittivity) and a high breakdown voltage, allowing a high voltage difference between paired electrodes to effect a high stored energy density.
