As electronics demand higher energy density, one component has proved challenging to shrink: the capacitor. Making a smaller ...

The introduction of several new dielectric materials for high-speed ultra-large-scale integration (ULSI) microelectronics has increased the necessity for metrology tools to measure the ...

Low dielectric constant polymers, often termed low‐k materials, represent a crucial class of polymeric insulators that combine excellent thermal stability, reduced water uptake, and superior ...

A University of Minnesota Twin Cities-led research team has solved a longstanding mystery surrounding strontium titanate, an unusual metal oxide that can be an insulator, a semiconductor, or a metal.

Just as circuit metallization must evolve to manage resistance as features shrink, so must the dielectric half of the interconnect stack. For quite some time, manufacturers have needed a dielectric ...

Polymer dielectrics having high dielectric constant, high temperature capability, and low loss are attractive for a broad range of applications such as film capacitors, gate dielectrics, artificial ...

OSAKA, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Panasonic Corporation today announced that it has commercialized an encapsulation material having a high dielectric constant that is suitable for finger-print ...

A research group has used nanosheet technology to develop a dielectric capacitor for advanced electronic and electrical power systems. Innovations in energy storage technology are vital for the ...

The measure of a material’s ability to store a charge when an electric field is applied, or its “capacitance.” If a material has a high dielectric constant, it reflects more RF energy and detunes the ...

A research team has solved a longstanding mystery surrounding strontium titanate, a metal oxide semiconductor, providing insight for future research on the material and its applications to electronic ...

So, after suffering a good number of static shocks today (and boy are they annoying when wearing in ear headphones!) I got to thinking. We're all familiar with the fact that static electricity is more ...
