Tunable capacitors (10, 20, 30, 40) have a dielectric material (16, 26, 36, 42) between electrodes, which dielectric material comprises an insulating material (17, 27, 37, 42) and electrically conductive material, (18, 28, 38, 48) e.g., conductive nanoparticulates, dispersed therein. In certain cases, enhanced tune-ability is achieved when the dielectric material comprises elongated nanoparticulates (38). Further enhanced tune-ability may be achieved by aligning elongated particulates in an electrode-to-electrode direction. Nanoparticulates may be produced by heating passivated nanoparticulates. Passivated nanoparticulates may be covalently bound within a polymeric matrix. High bias potential device structures can be formed with preferential mobilities.
A capacitor comprising:
A method of producing nanoparticulates of elemental metal comprising providing a solution of organic-passivated metal nanoparticulates in a solvent, and heating said solution to a temperature sufficient to decompose said organic-passivated metal nanoparticulates and thereby release nanoparticulates of elemental metal.
A dielectric material comprising a polymeric material matrix and metal nanoparticulates covalently bound within said polymeric matrix.
A method of forming a material comprising a polymer matrix and metal nanoparticulates covalently bound within said polymeric matrix, comprising, forming passivated metal nanoparticulates comprising metal nanoparticulates and organic moieties covalently bound to said nanoparticulates, said organic moieties having functional groups reactive with components of said polymeric matrix, and
