Applications of Dielectric Material
Some of the applications of dielectrics are as follows-
- These are used for energy storage in capacitors
- To enhance the performance of a semiconductor device, high permittivity dielectric materials are used.
- Dielectrics are used in Liquid Crystal Displays.
- Ceramic dielectric is used in Dielectric Resonator Oscillator.
- Barium Strontium Titanate thin films are dielectric which are used in microwave tunable devices providing high tunability and low leakage current.
- Parylene is used in industrial coatings acts as a barrier between the substrate and the external environment.
- In electrical transformers, mineral oils are used as a liquid dielectric and they assist in the cooling process.
- Castor oil is used in high-voltage capacitors to increase its capacitance value.
- Electrets, a specially processed dielectric material acts as electrostatic equivalent to magnets.
