One-dimensional multiferroic nanostructured composites have drawn increasing interest as they show tremendous potential for multifunctional devices and applications. Herein, we report the synthesis, structural and dielectric characterization of barium titanate ($BaTiO_3$)-bismuth ferrite ($BiFeO_3$) composite fibers that were obtained using a novel sol-gel based electrospinning technique. The microstructure of the fibers was investigated using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The fibers had an average diameter of 120 nm and were composed of nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction (XRD) study of the composite fibers demonstrated that the fibers are composed of perovskite cubic $BaTiO_3$-$BiFeO_3$ crystallites. The magnetic hysteresis loops of the resultant fibers demonstrated that the fibers were ferromagnetic with magnetic coercivity of 1500 Oe and saturation magnetization of 1.55 emu/g at room temperature (300 K). Additionally, the dielectric response of the composite fibers was characterized as a function of frequency. Their dielectric permittivity was found to be 140 and their dielectric loss was low in the frequency range from 1000 Hz to $10^7$ Hz.

The new PEI(poly(epoxy-imide))-nano Silica film has been synthesized via in situ CS sol process, and the chemical bonding and microstructure of nano silica dispersed in resin were examined by FT-IR, TAG and SEM. The dielectric properties of these hybrid films over a given temperature and frequency ranges have been studied in a point of view of stable chemical bonding of nano Silica filler. The results from IR spectra and SEM photograph indicated that PEI-Silica hybrid film prepared with nano CS sol process has been synthesized in uniform and chemical bonding. The decrease property of dielectric constant with CS content, tangent loss consistent of given frequency and temperature has been explained in terms of the chain movement of polymer through chemical bonging and size effect of nano silica. The new PEI-CS sol hybrid film with such stable chemical and dielectric properties was expected to be used as a high functional coating application in ET, IT and electric power products.

In this investigation, the effects of $N_2/(Ar+N_2)$ gas partial pressure on the structural, electrical, and thermal properties of AlN dielectric layers prepared on aluminum substrates using RF-magnetron sputtering method were analyzed. Among the films, the AlN dielectric film deposited under $N_2/(Ar+N_2)$ gas partial pressure of 75% exhibit the highest AlN (002) preferred orientation, which was grain size of about 15.32 nm and very dense structure. We suggest the possibilities of it's application as a dielectric layer for metal PCB because the AlN films prepared at optimized gas partial pressure can improving the insulating property, the thermal conductivity, and thermal diffusivity of the films.

The dielectric properties and microstructure of SrTiO3-based grain boundary layer (GBL) capacitor were investigated, and SrTiO3 GBL capacitor was made by penetrating the Frit (PbO-Bi2O3-B2O3 system). The Nb2O5-doped SrTiO3 ceramics were fired for 4-hours, at 145$0^{\circ}C$ in H2-N2 atomsphere to get semiconductive ceramics. The grain size of SrTiO3 sintered at reduction atmosphere had increased as the amount of Nb2O5 increases and then decreased as the amount of Nb2O5 exceeded 0.2 mole%. Insulating reagents which contained PbO-Bi2O3-B2O3 system frit and oxide mixture were printed on the each semiconductive ceramics and fired at varying temperature and for different holding time. The optimum dielectric properties could be obtained by second heat treatment at 110$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour, when frit paste was printed. A SrTiO3-based GBLC had the apparent permitivity of about 3.2$\times$104, the dielectric loss of 0.01~0.02 and the stable temperature coefficient of capacitance. The influence of frit paste on dielectric properties was similiar to that of oxide paste but the stability of temperature property of capacitance was improved.

$Zr_{0.7}Sn_{0.3}TiO_4$ (ZST) thin films were fabricated by metal-organic decomposition, and their dielectric properties were investigated in order to evaluate their potential use in passive capacitors for rf and analog/mixed signal integrated circuits. The ZST thin film annealed at the temperature of $800^{\circ}C$ showed a dielectric constant of 27.3 and a dielectric loss of 0.011. The capacitor using the ZST film had quadratic and linear voltage coefficient of capacitance (VCC) of -65 ppm/$V^2$ and -35 ppm/V at 100 kHz, respectively. It also exhibited a good temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC) value of -32 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ at 100 kHz.

The films of Vanadium tungsten oxide, $V_{1.85}W_{0.15}O_5$, were grown on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate by RF sputtering method. The $V_{1.85}W_{0.15}O_5$ thin films deposited on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrates by RF sputtering method exhibited fairly good TCR and dielectric properties. It was found that film crystallinity, dielectric properties, and TCR properties were strongly dependent upon the annealing temperature. The dielectric constants of the $V_{1.85}W_{0.15}O_5$ thin films annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ were 55, with a dielectric loss of 1.435, respectively. Also, the TCR values of the $V_{1.85}W_{0.15}O_5$ thin films annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ were about -3.6%/K.

Effects of additives on electrical properties and microstructure of MLCC X7R dielectrics have been investigated. The additives of glass frit or oxide form were added in the same main composition by the different powder processing conditions. As a result of the dielectric property and microstructure analysis, the composition having the glass layer with dopant concentration gradient showed the excellent dielectric properties. The MLCCs were fabricated with the excellent composition and all dielectric properties satisfied the X7R requirements.

We report the fabrication of pentacene organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) using a fluorinated styrene-alt-maleic anhydride copolymer gate dielectric, which was prepared from styrene derivatives with a fluorinated side chain [$-CH_2-O-(CH_2)_2-(CF_2)_5CF_3$] and maleic anhydride through a solution polymerization technique. The fluorinated side chain was used to impart hydrophobicity to the surface of the gate dielectric and maleic anhydride was employed to improve its wetting properties. A field-effect mobility of 0.12 cm$^2$/Vs was obtained from the as-prepared top-contact pentacene FETs. Since various functional groups can be introduced into the copolymer due to the nature of maleic anhydride, its physical properties can be manipulated easily. Using this type of copolymer, the performance of organic FETs can be enhanced through optimization of the interfacial properties between the gate dielectric and organic semiconductor.

Single phases of multi-component oxides films, ZrTiO4 and Ta2Zr6O17, could be synthesized by using the combinatorial approach through surface sol-gel route, coating the appropriate mole ratio of 100 mM zirconium butoxide, tantalum butoxide and titanium butoxide precursors on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si (100) substrate, following pyrolysis at 450 oC, and annealing them at 770 oC. Both the films and bulks of ZrTiO4 and Ta2Zr6O17 showed very stable dielectric properties in temperature range, ?140 to 60 oC, and frequency range, 100 Hz to 1 MHz, promising their applications in wide range of temperatures and frequencies. The dielectric constants of the films were lower and a little more dependent on frequency than those of the bulks. The reduction of dielectric property in the film was mainly due to the interfacial effects that worked as series and parallel-connected capacitances toward the substantial film capacitance.
