It requires no field calibration, withstands high temperatures, and works with materials having a wide range of bulk densities and dielectric constants. The method has application to the semiconductor industry in their pursuit of new interlayer materials with low dielectric constants to reduce cross-talk and to increase processor speed as device features reach nanometer sizes. They quash tunneling currents admirably in laboratory experiments and also maintain a hefty gate capacitance thanks to dielectric constants 6 to 20 times that of silicon dioxide. |
