We have investigated dielectric properties of aromatic polythiourea (ArPTU, a polar polymer containing high dipolar moments with very low defect levels) thin films that were developed on Pt/SiO2 substrate. The detected response is compared to the response of commercially available polymers, such as high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP), which are at present used in foil capacitors. Stable values of the dielectric constant [Formula: see text] (being twice higher than in HDPE and PP) over broad temperature and frequency ranges and dielectric losses as low as in commercial systems suggest ArPTU as a promising candidate for future use in a variety of applications.

(Co, Nb) co-doped rutile TiO2 (CoNTO) nanoparticles with low dopant concentrations were prepared using a wet chemistry method. A pure rutile TiO2 phase with a dense microstructure and homogeneous dispersion of the dopants was obtained. By co-doping rutile TiO2 with 0.5 at.% (Co, Nb), a very high dielectric permittivity of ε′ » 36,105 and a low loss tangent of tanδ » 0.04 were achieved. The sample–electrode contact and resistive outer-surface layer (surface barrier layer capacitor) have a significant impact on the dielectric response in the CoNTO ceramics. The density functional theory calculation shows that the 2Co atoms are located near the oxygen vacancy, creating a triangle-shaped 2CoVoTi complex defect. On the other hand, the substitution of TiO2 with Nb atoms can form a diamond-shaped 2Nb2Ti complex defect. These two types of complex defects are far away from each other. Therefore, the electron-pinned defect dipoles cannot be considered the primary origins of the dielectric response in the CoNTO ceramics. Impedance spectroscopy shows that the CoNTO ceramics are electrically heterogeneous, comprised of insulating and semiconducting regions. Thus, the dielectric properties of the CoNTO ceramics are attributed to the interfacial polarization at the internal insulating layers with very high resistivity, giving rise to a low loss tangent.

To investigate the anisotropic dielectric properties of layer-structured bismuth-based ferroelectrics along different crystal directions, we fabricate devices along different crystal orientations using highly c-axis oriented Bi3.25La0.75Ti3O12 (BLT) thin films on (001) LaAlO3 (LAO) substrates. Experimental results have shown that the dielectric properties of the BLT films are highly anisotropic along different crystal directions. The dielectric constants (1MHz at 300 K) are 358 and 160 along [100] and [110], respectively. Dielectric nonlinearity is also detected along these crystal directions. On the other hand, a much smaller dielectric constant and no detectable dielectric nonlinearity in a field range of 0-200 kV/cm are observed for films along [001] when c-axis oriented SRO is used as the bottom electrode.

Abstract Progress of 5G telecommunication and mm radar for autopilot, high frequency operation is required. Insulator materials having low loss at high frequency is desired for the applications. We designed the low dielectric constant, and low dielectric loss materials examined molecular structure of the polyimide and found that permittivity 2.6 at 20GHz, dielectric loss 0.002. Furthermore, in consideration of mechanical properties such as the toughness and adhesion to copper from a point of practical use. Dielectric properties largely turned worse when giving photosensitivity. To overcome the poor dielectric properties, we designed the photosensitive system. After all, we successfully obtained 3.5 of dielectric constant and 0.004 of dielectric loss, and 100% of elongation at break. In addition, we offered a B stage sheet as well as varnish. These materials are applicable to re-distribution layer of FO-WLP, Interposer and other RF applications for microelectronics.

Thin films (0.2 μm to 1.8 μm) of photosensitive and nonphotosensitive BCB were fabricated and the degree of planarization (DOP) and dielectric properties were investigated. It was found that a high DOP for wide spaces (>20 μm spaces with 1 μm of BCB) was possible with nonphotosensitive BCB but not photosensitive BCB because of the cross-linking reaction during the photo-process. Thin films (as thin as 0.2 μm) exhibited dielectric properties similar to thick films. The dielectric properties of the photosensitive BCB were slightly higher than nonphotosensitive BCB. Low loss properties were observed at all thickness.

The microwave dielectric properties of (300-X) nm MgTiO3/(X) nm CaTiO3 thin films have been investigated with correlation between the interface and stress induced by dielectric layers with heattreatment. As the thickness (X) of CaTiO3 film increased, the dielectric constant increased and the temperature coefficient of the dielectric constant changed from the positive to the negative values by the dielectric mixing rule. The dielectric loss of (300-X) nm MgTiO3/(X) nm CaTiO3 thin films increased with an increase of the thickness (X) of CaTiO3 film because of higher thermal stress induced by the higher thermal expansion coefficient of CaTiO3 than that of MgTiO3.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the influence of various firing profiles on microstructural and dielectric properties of low-temperature, co-fired ceramic (LTCC) substrates in a GHz frequency range. According these analyses, sintering process can be controlled and modified to achieve better performance of devices fabricated from LTCC substrates. Design/methodology/approach Samples from LTCC substrates GreenTape 951 and GreenTape 9K7 were sintered by four firing profiles. Basic firing profile recommended by the manufacturer was modified by increasing the peak temperature or the dwell time at the peak temperature. The influence of firing profile on microstructural properties was analysed according to measurements by X-ray diffractometer (application of the Cu K-alpha radiation and the Bragg-Brentano method), and the influence on dielectric properties (dielectric constant and dielectric losses) was analysed according to measurements by split cylinder resonator method at 9.7 and 12.5 GHz. Findings Rising of the peak temperature or extension of dwell time at this temperature has influence on all analysed properties of LTCC substrates. Size of crystallites can be changed by modification of firing profile as well as microdeformation. In addition, dielectric properties can be changed too by modification of the firing profile. Correlation between microdeformation and dielectric losses was observed. Originality/value The novelty of this work lies in finding the mutual relationship between changes in microstructural (size of grains and microdeformation) and dielectric properties (dielectric constant and dielectric losses) caused by different firing profiles.

ABSTRACTThin films of poly(p-phenylene biphenyltetracarboximide), prepared by thermal imidization of the precursor poly(amic acid) on substrates, have been investigated by optical waveguide, UV-visible, infrared (IR), and dielectric spectroscopies. The polyimide films exhibit an extraordinarily large anisotropy in the refractive indices with the in-plane index n║ = 1.852 and the out-of-plane index n┴ = 1.612 at 632.8 nm wavelength, indicating a strong preference of polymer chains to orient along the film plane. No discernible effect of the film thickness on this optical anisotropy is found in the range of ca. 0.4 μm to 7.8 μm in thickness. The frequency dispersion of the in-plane refractive index to 1.06 μm wavelength is consistent with the results calculated by the Lorentz-Lorenz equation from the UV-visible spectrum. The contribution from the entire IR range from 7000 to 200 cm,−1 computed by the Spitzer-Kleinmann dispersion relations from the measured spectra, adds ca. 0.07 to the in-plane refractive index n║. Approximately the same increase is assumed for the out-of-plane index n┴, based on the tilt-angle dependent IR results. Application of the Maxwell relation leads to the out-of-plane dielectric constant ε┴≃2.8 at ca. 1013 Hz, as compared with the measured value of ca. 3.0 at 106 Hz. Assuming this small difference to remain the same for the in-plane dielectric constants ε║, we obtain a a very large anisotropy in the dielectric properties of these polyimide films with the estimated in-plane dielectric constant ε║≃3.5 at ca. 1013 Hz, and ε.≃3.7 at 106 Hz.

ABSTRACTThe dielectric response of BaBi2Nb2O9 (BBN) thin films has been studied as a function of frequency over a wide range of temperatures. Both dielectric constant and loss tangent of BBN thin films showed a ‘power law’ dependence with frequency, which was analyzed using the Jonscher's universal dielectric response model. Theoretical fits were utilized to compare the experimental results and also to estimate the value of temperature dependence parameters such as n(T) and a(T) used in the Jonscher's model. The room temperature dielectric constant (ε') of the BBN thin films was 214 with a loss tangent (tanδ) of 0.04 at a frequency of 100 kHz. The films exhibited the second order dielectric phase transition from ferroelectric to paraelectric state at a temperature of 220 °C. The nature of phase transition was confirmed from the temperature dependence of dielectric constant and sponteneous polarization,respectively. The calculated Currie constant for BBN thin films was 4 × 105°C.
