Researchers develop high-efficency thin-film semiconductors

04 Jan 2012


Researchers have developed a new high-performance thin-film capacitor, which could aid the transition to printed electronics.

The thin-film semiconductors offer a high performance, and could boost interest in flexible electronicsA team from the International Centre for Materials Nanoarchitectonics and the National Institute for Material Science in Japan uses a new high-permittivity dielectric sheet stacked on an atomically thin SrRuO3 substrate. They are able to achieve high performance permittivity (160-300) with a film thickness of 5-15nm, reports PCB Design.

This latest research demonstrates simultaneous improvements in a number of material properties, including relative permittivity, lower loss and leakage current, and opens possibilities for flexible electronic products.
