Abstract
An electronic component includes a first and a second electrode. A layer of nanoparticles is disposed between the first and second electrodes. The layer of nanoparticles includes an electrically conducting compound of a metal and an element of Main Group VI of the Periodic Table. A dimension of a majority of the nanoparticles ranges from 0.1 to 10 times a screening length of the electrically conductive compound. A dielectric layer has at least one common interface with at least a part of the nanoparticles.
Claims9
An electronic component comprising:
- a first and a second electrode;
- a layer of nanoparticles disposed between the first and second electrodes, the layer of nanoparticles including an electrically conducting compound of a metal and an element of Main Group VI of the Periodic Table, a dimension of a majority of the nanoparticles ranging from 0.1 to 10 times a screening length of the electrically conductive compound;
- a dielectric formed by a solid or liquid electrolyte which, together with the layer of nanoparticles, forms an interpenetrating network having arbitrary interfaces between the electrolyte and the nanoparticles;
- and
