Formation of an I/UCRC Multi-University Center for Dielectric Studies

多大学介电中心将针对三个重点领域的研究：进化，革命和基础。 发展的主题将强调近期的工业需求，如介电退化机制，影响组件的可靠性。 革命性的研究涉及行业的范式转变。 例如，通过电泳的纳米颗粒沉积将产生具有亚微米层的新电容器结构。 基本主题将允许深入研究缺陷化学和微波介电弛豫机制，从而开辟脉冲功率和无线组件的新研究领域。

The Multi-university Center for Dielectrics will target research in three focal areas: evolutionary, revolutionary, and basic. Evolutionary topics will emphasize near-term industrial needs such as dielectric degradation mechanisms, which affect component reliability. Revolutionary research involves a paradigm shift in the industry. For example, nanoparticle deposition by electrophoresis will produce new capacitor structures with submicron layers. Basic topics will permit in-depth investigation of defect chemistry and microwave dielectric relaxation mechanisms which opens new research areas in pulse power and wireless components.
