Abstract
One or more embodiments provide for a device that utilizes voltage switchable dielectric material having semi-conductive or conductive materials that have a relatively high aspect ratio for purpose of enhancing mechanical and electrical characteristics of the VSD material on the device.
Claims10
A device comprising:
- a formation of voltage switchable dielectric (VSD) material, wherein the VSD material comprises:
- a binder;
- high aspect ratio (HAR) particles that are conductive or semi-conductive and dispersed as nanoscale particles within the binder;
- and
- conductor and/or semiconductor particles;
- said conductor and/or semiconductor particles being distributed in the binder;
- wherein HAR particles and said conductor and/or semiconductor particles are combined to provide said composition with a characteristic of being (i) dielectric in absence of a voltage that exceeds a characteristic voltage level, and (ii) conductive with application of said voltage exceeding said characteristic voltage level.
4 more elements
An electronic device comprising:
- a layer of voltage switchable dielectric (VSD) material formed by:
- (i) creating a mixture comprising a binder, metallic and/or inorganic semi-conductor particles, and conductive or semi-conductive organic material;
- (ii) applying the mixture to a target location on the device;
- and
- (iii) curing the mixture at the target location.
