Amorphous metal oxide has been a popular choice for thin film material in recent years due to its high uniformity. The dielectric layer is one of the core materials of the thin film transistor (TFT), and it affects the ability of charges storage in TFT. There is a conflict between a high relative dielectric constant and a wide band gap, so we solved this problem by using multiple metals to increase the entropy of the system. In this paper, we prepared zirconium-yttrium-aluminum-magnesium-oxide (ZYAMO) dielectric layers with a high relative dielectric constant using the solution method. The basic properties of ZYAMO films were measured by an atomic force microscope (AFM), an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (UV-VIS), etc. It was observed that ZYAMO thin films had a larger optical band when the annealing temperature increased. Then, metal-insulator-metal (MIM) devices were fabricated to measure the electrical properties. We found that the leakage current density of the device is relatively lower and the ZYAMO thin film had a higher relative dielectric constant as the concentration went up. Finally, it reached a high relative dielectric constant of 56.09, while the leakage current density was no higher than 1.63 × 10 A/cm@ 0.5 MV/cm at 1.0 M and 400 °C. Therefore, the amorphous ZYAMO thin films has a great application in the field of high permittivity request devices in the future.

Flexible pressure sensor is a crucial component of tactile sensors and plays an integral role in numerous significant fields. Despite the considerable effort put forth, how to further improve sensitivity with ingenious yet easy-to-manufacture structures and apply them to emerging fields such as structure/materials recognition, human motion monitoring, and human-machine interaction remains a challenge. Here, we develop a highly sensitive flexible capacitive pressure sensor featuring a structured electrode layer with embedded microcracks and a dielectric layer with micro-convex structures, which are combined with an iontronic interface.

This study explored the structural, optical, antibacterial, and dielectric properties of TiO nanoparticles synthesized using two distinct approaches: sol-gel and biosynthesis. Density functional tight binding (DFTB+) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed alongside experimental techniques to gain a comprehensive understanding of the electronic-property relationships. peel extract was utilized for the biosynthesis method.

In organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), the high carrier mobility of conjugated polymers (CPs) is significantly influenced by the maintenance of excellent coplanarity and aggregation, especially at the interface between the organic semiconductor and dielectric layer. Unfortunately, CPs typically exhibit poor coplanarity due to the single bond rotations between donor and acceptor units. Furthermore, there is relatively little research on the coplanarity of CPs at the interface.

Future processes and materials are needed to enable multichip packages with chip-to-chip (C2C) data rates of 50 GB/s or higher. This presents a fundamental challenge because of the skin effect, which exacerbates signal transmission losses at high frequencies. Our results indicate that smooth copper interconnects with relatively thin cuprous oxides (CuO, Cu) and amine-functional silane adhesion promoters improve interfacial adhesion with epoxy dielectrics by nearly an order of magnitude.
