Abstract
An apparatus and method of constructing high power density capacitors. The apparatus and method may include scavenging materials between and around high-permittivity dielectric sections. Scavenging materials are added to the capacitor to remove electrons or holes that can lead to breakdown, without substantially reducing capacitance.
Claims20
A capacitor apparatus comprising:
- at least one scavenger material, and
- at least one high-permittivity dielectric material, wherein the presence of the scavenger material increases the breakdown voltage of the capacitor by at least a factor of 5 without substantially reducing the capacitance.
A method for manufacturing capacitors comprising:
- combining scavenger material with high-permittivity dielectric material, and enclosing the combined scavenger material and high permittivity dielectric material, wherein the scavenger material increases the breakdown voltage of the capacitor by at least a factor of 5 without substantially reducing the capacitance.
