Electrets are produced by heating certain dielectric materials to a high temperature and then letting them cool while immersed in a strong electric field. Two new dielectric materials have been developed to meet the needs for improved via and signal trace density, improved electrical performance and reduced cost. Dielectric materials can be made to hold an electrostatic charge, but current cannot flow through them. |
