Full paper pdf download The high-κ dielectric materials are commonly used in microelectronic components due to technological necessity of increasing the permittivity of dielectric layers. The thickness of the layer is crucial parameter of this technology because it has significant influence on the dielectric properties, capacitance density, leakage current density-voltage (J-V), and capacitance density-voltage (C-V) characteristics. The paper was presented by Jaromir Hubalek, Brno...

Electronic component miniaturization and operation in harsh environmental conditions are growing trends in applications, such as on-board chargers, energy meters, capacitive power supplies, including connection in series with the mains, motor drives, wind and solar inverters. Current EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) X2 class suppression and DC-link power box film capacitors need capability improvement to meet these requirements.
