Ceramic-polymer composites have been investigated for their suitability as embedded capacitor materials because they combine the processing ability of polymers with the desired dielectric properties of ceramics. This paper discusses the dielectric properties of the ceramic ($BaTiO_3$)-polymer (Epoxy) composition as a function of ceramic particle size at a ceramic loading of 40 vol%. The dielectric constant of these ceramic-polymer composites increases as the powder size decreases. Results show that ceramic-polymer composites have a high dielectric constant associated with the $BaTiO_3$ powder with a 200 nm particle size, high insulation resistance, high breakdown voltage (> 22 KV/mm), and low dielectric loss (0.018-0.024) at 1 MHz.

The standard capacitor must have not only precise value of the capacitance but also the basic properties of low dielectric loss tangent. In the reforming process of capacitors, the dielectric loss tangent must be also reformed. In this paper, the development of standard capacitors of 10 and 100pF for the dielectric loss tangent standard using $Al_{2}O_{3}$ Crystal and the measurement of dielectric loss tangent are discussed. The dielectric loss tangent depends upon the surface between electrode and dielectric in capacitor. With using the Electric Field Simulator, precise design values of electrode are simulated. For the purpose of measuring capacitance effect just in the dielectric, 3-Terminal and 4-Terminal Pair configuration are applied respectively at the electrode and the connector for the measuring equipment. As stated above method, the standard capacitors of 10 and l00pF for the establishment of the dielectric loss tangent standard using the $Al_{2}O_{3}$ Crystal are made with low dielectric loss tangent less than 10-4.

The microstructure and dielectric properties of a SrTiO3-based GBL (Grain Boundary Layer) capacitor were investigated. The 0.6 mol% Nb2O5 doped SrTiO3 was sintered for 3 hr at 1450$^{\circ}C$ in mixed gas(N2/H2) atmosphere. The Nb2O5 promoted the grain growth of the SrTiO3 ceramics was decreased with the amount of Nb2O5. The oxide mixture(PbO, Bi2O3, B2O3) were painted on the reduced specimen and fired at 1000$^{\circ}C$ to 1100$^{\circ}C$ in air. The penetrated oxide mixture into specimen were located in grain boundaries. A SrTiO3-based GBL capacitor had the apparent permittivity of about 3.0${\times}$104, the dielectric loss of 0.01-0.02, and insulating resistance of 108-109$\Omega$.cm. The capacitor had the stable temperature coefficient of capacitance and exhibited dielectric dispersion over 107 Hz. The capacitance-voltage measurements indicated that the grain boundary was composed of the continuous insulating layers.

Low Temperature Cofired Ceramics (LTCC) technology is a promising technology to integrate many devices in a module by embedding passive components. For the module substrate, most LTCC structures have dielectric constants below 10 to reduce signal delay time. Some components, which need high dielectric constants, have not been yet embedded in LTCC module. So, embedding capacitor with high capacitance by applying another dielectrics with high dielectric constants in LTCC is an important issue to maximize circuit density in LTCC module. In this study, electrical properties of embedded capacitor fabricated by dielectric paste of high dielectric constants (K-100) and co-firing behavior with LTCC were investigated. To prevent camber development of co-fired structure, constrained sintering process was tested. Dielectric properties of embedded capacitors were calculated from their capacitance and impedance value. Temperature coefficient of capacitance were also measured.

BaTiO₃ is one of the ferroelectric materials with excellent dielectric properties such as high dielectric constant, low dielectric loss, and is widely used for the manufacturing of capacitors, piezoelectric converters, microsensors, and ferroelectric memories. Inkjet printing is a technology which uses digital and contactless methods which significantly improves flexibility associated with material and structural design, reducing manufacturing costs. Therefore, the top and bottom electrodes, BaTiO₃ ink, and photocurable resin were all printed by an inkjet to produce a BaTiO₃ capacitor. The properties of the printed thin film were analyzed. It was confirmed that the photocurable resin ink was well-infiltrated between the BaTiO₃ powder particles printed by inkjet. The dielectric properties of the capacitor such as dielectric constant which varies in accordance with frequency, polarization and tunability that changes with voltage, were measured.

Integrated passive device (IPD) technology has emerged with the need for 5G. In order to integrate and miniaturize capacitors inside IPD, various studies are actively performed using high-k materials and trench structures. In this paper, an EM(Electromagnetic) simulation study was performed by applying an oxide dielectric to the capacitors having a various trench type structures. Commercially available materials HfO₂, Al₂O₃, and Ta₂O₅ are applied to non, circle, trefoil, and quatrefoil type trench structures to confirm changes in each material or structure. As a result, the bigger the capacitor area and the higher dielectric constant of the oxide dielectric, the insertion loss tended to decrease.

Energy storage capacitors based on dielectric ceramics with superior polarization properties and dielectric constant can provide much higher output power density due to their very fast energy charging/discharging rates, which are particularly suitable for operating pulsed-power devices. For an outstanding energy storage performance of dielectric capacitor, a large recoverable energy density could be derived by introducing a slim polarization-electric field hysteresis loop into dielectric materials by various technical approaches. Many research teams have explored various dielectric capacitor technologies to demonstrate high output power density and ultrafast charging/discharging behavior. This article reviews the recent research progress in high-performance dielectric capacitors for pulsed-power electronic applications.

[ $Epoxy/BaTiO_3$ ] composite embedded capacitor films (ECFs) were newly designed fur high dielectric constant and low tolerance (less than ${\pm}15\%$) embedded capacitor fabrication for organic substrates. In terms of material formulation, ECFs are composed of specially formulated epoxy resin and latent curing agent, and in terms of coating process, a comma roll coating method is used for uniform film thickness in large area. Dielectric constant of $BaTiO_3\;&\;SrTiO_3$ composite ECF is measured with MIM capacitor at 100 kHz using LCR meter. Dielectric constant of $BaTiO_3$ ECF is bigger than that of $SrTiO_3$ ECF, and it is due to difference of permittivity of $BaTiO_3\;and\;SrTiO_3$ particles. Dielectric constant of $BaTiO_3\;&\;SrTiO_3$ ECF in high frequency range $(0.5\~10GHz)$ is measured using cavity resonance method. In order to estimate dielectric constant, the reflection coefficient is measured with a network analyzer. Dielectric constant is calculated by observing the frequencies of the resonant cavity modes. About both powders, calculated dielectric constants in this frequency range are about 3/4 of the dielectric constants at 1 MHz. This difference is due to the decrease of the dielectric constant of epoxy matrix. For $BaTiO_3$ ECF, there is the dielectric relaxation at $5\~9GHz$. It is due to changing of polarization mode of $BaTiO_3$ powder. In the case of $SrTiO_3$ ECF, there is no relaxation up to 10GHz. Alternative material for embedded capacitor fabrication is $epoxy/BaTiO_3$ composite embedded capacitor paste (ECP). It uses similar materials formulation like ECF and a screen printing method for film coating. The screen printing method has the advantage of forming capacitor partially in desired part. But the screen printing makes surface irregularity during mask peel-off, Surface flatness is significantly improved by adding some additives and by applying pressure during curing. As a result, dielectric layer with improved thickness uniformity is successfully demonstrated. Using $epoxy/BaTiO_3$ composite ECP, dielectric constant of 63 and specific capacitance of 5.1nF/cm2 were achieved.

The cross capacitor electrode system applied Thompson-Lampard theorem for precise and accurate measurement of dielectric constants is studied in this study. The capacitance derived from cross capacitor is calculated by the equation of ($C=\frac{{\epsilon}ln2}{\pi}{\cdot}$ effectivelength of electrode) which is very different from the equation of capacitance derived from parallel plate capacitor. From above mentioned reason, the capacitance measurement uncertainty of cross capacitor can be reduced then that of the parallel plate capacitor. the measurement dielectric constant measured by cross capacitor electrode method is one order more accurate and precise than that of 3-electrode method.

In this work, a novel tunable MIM capacitor with the meshed electrode is proposed first in order to improve the tunability characteristics using fringe fields. The capacitors were fabricated on a low-resistivity Si substrate employing lead zinc niobate (PZN) thin film dielectric. The fabricated capacitor with the meshed electrode, whose line width and spacing was $2.5{\mu}m$, achieved the effective capacitance tunability of 31 % that is higher value of 18.5 % than that of the conventional capacitor with the rectangular-type electrode.
