In logic devices such as finFETs (field-effect transistors), metal gate parasitic capacitance can negatively impact electrical performance. One way to reduce this parasitic capacitance is to optimize ...

This tutorial will showcase how inductance, capacitance and resistance affect alternating current. A circuit may have the alternating current through it and the voltage across it rising and failing ...

AC dielectric cure monitoring, also referred to as Dielectric Analysis (DEA), measures a polymer’s capacitance and resistance, which are bulk properties utilized in the conventional electrical model ...

Over the past decade, demand for nano-electrical characterization has rapidly increased due to the continuous miniaturization of electronic devices. The semiconductor and microelectronics industries ...

A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...

For decades, multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) have been the go-to choice for surface-mounted capacitors due to their many advantages, such as wide available capacitance range, non-polarity, low ...

In a perfect world, electrical insulation would allow no current to flow through it. Unfortunately, several factors can — and will — result in the deterioration and ultimate failure of electrical ...
