  1. Progress in Dielectric Science & Technology:A Retrospective/Prospective Dennis W. Hess School of Chemical Engineering Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, GA 30332-0100

  2. Michael Faraday(1791 – 1867) • Coined the term “dielectric” in the mid 1800’s to indicate that something analogous to current flow occurs through a capacitor during the charging process • Was described, in the 1879 edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica, by the remark that Faraday is a “chemist, electrician, and philosopher” • Was offered BUT REFUSED • * Presidency of the Royal Society • * Presidency of the Royal Institution • * Knighthood • He explained: “I must remain plain Michael Faraday to the last; . . . if I accepted the honour which the Royal Society desires to confer upon me, I would not answer for the integrity of my intellect for a single year”

  3. Dielectric Science & Technology DivisionBackground and History • Founded in 1945 as the ‘Electric Insulation Division’, primarily due to efforts of F. M. Clark at General Electric • * Offered interdisciplinary forum for discussions on electrical insulation as applied to power transmission, e.g., cables, transformers, and capacitors • * Until ~1960, symposia sponsored by EID involved • - electrophysics - electrical properties of plastics • - wet electrolytic capacitors - wires and cables • - inorganic & organic dielectrics - liquid dielectrics • - high temperature insulation - pre-fabricated circuitry • - chemical aspects of printed wiring

  4. DS&T – Background and History • In the July, 1952 issue of Journal of The Electrochemical Society, Thomas D. Callinan, then Chair of the Electric Insulation Division, wrote that the Division was formed to: • “. . . promote the attainment and dissemination of knowledge of dielectrics, including the electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties of non-conductors of electricity. • He further remarked that the interest in this field was shifting from: • “. . . power transmission to intelligence transmission” • He further implied that the recent discovery of the transistor would have a major impact on the field of dielectrics!! • This comment has been a cornerstone of the Division’s development

  5. DS&T – Background and History • Due to the changed emphasis of the Electric Insulation Division, a name change occurred in 1965, when the Division became the • Dielectrics and Insulation Division • * Symposia held between 1965 and 1988 include • - Anodic Oxide Dielectrics for Electrolytic Capacitors • - Silicon Nitride and Silicon Oxide Thin Insulating Films • - Thin Films for Electronic Applications • - Plasma Processing • - Chemical Vapor Deposition • - Multilevel Metallization • NOTE: Some of the above symposia were and continue to be sponsored jointly with the Electronics Division and/or the High Temperature Materials Division

  6. DS&T – Background and History • Again, due to changes in the interests of our members, the D&I Division, underwent a name change in 1990, becoming the • Dielectric Science and Technology Division • * Symposia held since 1989 include • Diamond and Diamond-like Carbon Films • Corrosion and Reliability of Electronic Materials and Devices • Environmental Issues with Materials and Processes for IC Manufacture • Process Control, Diagnostics, and Modeling in Semiconductor Manufacture • III-V Nitride Materials and Devices - Rapid Thermal Processing • ULSI Science and Technology - Polymeric Materials for ICs • NOTE: Some of the above symposia have been co-sponsored with several other Divisions and with other professional societies

  7. Application of an Electric Field to a Dielectric Produces a Displacement of Charge • Charge displacement occurs through a progressive orientation of both permanent and induced dipoles, termed polarization • Since all materials contain charges of one type or another, essentially every material can be broadly classified as a dielectric
