Overview of Polymer Nanocomposites as Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Materials for Large High Voltage Rotating Machines

Han J., Garrett R., Siemens Power Generation, US

Polymer nanocomposites are defined as polymers in which small amounts of nanometer size filers are homogeneously dispersed. In power industry, electrical insulating polymers usually incorporate inorganic fillers to achieve specific electrical, mechanical, thermal properties and [...]

A Distributed Compact Model for High-Density, On-Chip Trench Capacitors in High-Frequency Applications

Shastri S., Wu Y., Cai W.Z., Grivna G., ON Semiconductor, US

In this paper we describe for the first time a distributed model for the trench capacitor, which includes process parameters that may be extracted from the low-frequency measurement of one or two capacitor geometries. The [...]

Criterion for Electrostatic Detachment of an Adhering Microparticle

Saito S., Himeno H., Takahashi K., Onzawa T., Tokyo Institute of Technology, JP

During micromanipulation, the influence of gravitational force becomes extremely small. The adhesional force is more significant for smaller objects. An adhered object can be detached by electrostatic interaction. In our earlier study, the electrostatic force [...]
