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 ...

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

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 ...

The dielectric properties of materials ranging from electrical insulation to copier toner can indicate a manufacturing process that needs adjustment. While accurate dielectric-constant and dissipation ...

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 ...

For the makers who need to construct their own capacitors, you must choose a dielectric for it, otherwise known as the material that goes between the plates. One popular material is paraffin wax that ...

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 ...

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 ...

Before we debate the relevancy of Dielectric Absorption relating to speaker cables, and commonly perpetuated by many exotic cable vendors and cable cult hobbyists ...

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 ...
