Dielectrics are of two types: (i) Non-Polar Dielectrics: When the centre of positive charge coincides with the centre of negative charge in a molecule, e.g., Nitrogen, Oxygen, CO 2 etc. (ii) Polar ...

This coupling heavily influences performance and yield. Heat induces mechanical deformation, deformation alters carrier ...

Thin films and high-k dielectrics continue to be at the forefront of electronic device engineering, offering transformative solutions for enhanced performance and scaling in modern semiconductor ...

In the latest version of its Q3D Extractor, Ansoft gives designers a window into the capacitance and conductance issues prevalent in lossy dielectrics. Version 8 of the parasitic extraction tool ...

What capacitance do you get when you buy a multilayer ceramic capacitor? It might sound like an odd question but the actual answer is down to dielectric type, design and operational conditions which ...

Last month's column explained that AC current flowing through an inductance reaches its peak amplitude after the voltage. Lagging current is characteristic of an inductive circuit. Capacitive circuits ...

AVX Corporation has added high temperature X8R and X8L dielectric components to its high-reliability APS Series multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) applications.

A new technical paper titled “The van der Waals Gap: a Hidden Showstopper in Semiconductor Device Scaling” was published by researchers at TU Wien. Abstract “Continued miniaturization of transistors ...

Taiwan-based Prosperity Dielectrics Company (PDC), which supplies powder materials to multi-layer ceramic-chip capacitor (MLCC) makers, has developed new products for high-capacitance MLCCs and ...
