Abstract:
A dielectric film is formed on a free-standing conductive metal layer to form a multi-layer foil comprising a conductive metal layer, a barrier layer and a dielectric oxide layer. Such multi-layer foils are mechanically flexible, and useful for the manufacture of capacitors. Examples of barrier layers include Ni—P or Ni—Cr alloys. After a second layer of conductive metal is deposited on a dielectric oxide surface opposing the first conductive metal layer, the resulting capacitor foil is processed into a capacitor. The resulting capacitor is a surface mounted capacitor or is formed as a integrated or embedded capacitor within a circuit board.

Although not required, the fabric also has a tensile strength of at least 1.5 times that of a corresponding fabric that is heat cleaned by heating the corresponding fabric to a temperature of at least 380° C. for at least 60 hours and silane finished when measured in the warp direction or fill direction.
Abstract:
A dielectric composed of a core material between two polymer layers that have permittivity values less than the core material. The polymer layers provide structural integrity for the dielectric. The dielectric can be employed in a capacitor to fine tune the capacitance of the capacitor. The dielectric and the capacitor may have a thickness in the micron range. Accordingly, the dielectric and capacitor provide for the miniaturization of electronic devices. The dielectric may be employed in decoupling capacitors to reduce noise in electronic devices.
