Abstract

A capacitor is formed that includes a self-organized monolayer of an organic compound between two electrodes.

Claims (11)

1. A capacitor comprising:

a first electrode;

a second electrode; and

a dielectric layer arranged between the first electrode and the second electrode, the dielectric layer being formed from a monolayer of an organic compound which includes an anchor group, a linker chain and a head group, wherein the anchor group comprises at least one of R—SiCl 3 , R—SiCl 2 -alkyl, R—SiCl(alkyl) 2 , R—Si(OR) 3 , R—Si(OR) 2 -alkyl, R—SiOR(alkyl) 2 , R—PO(OH) 2 , R—CHO, R—CH═CH 2 , R—SH, R—S − , R—COO 31 and R—COSH, the linker chain comprises at least one of —(CH 2 ) n1 — and —(O—CH 2 ) n2 —, where n 1 is from 2 to 2 and n 2 is from 2 to 10, and the head group comprises an aromatic group.

2. The capacitor of claim 1 , wherein the monolayer includes a layer thickness from 1 nm to 10 nm.

3. The capacitor of claim 1 , wherein the monolayer includes a layer thickness from 2 nm to 5 nm.

4. The capacitor of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode is constructed of a material comprising at least one of Al, Ti, polycrystalline silicon and monocrystalline silicon.

5. The capacitor of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode is constructed of a material comprising one of Au and GaAs.

6. The capacitor of claim 1 , wherein the second electrode is constructed of a material comprising one of Au, Cu, Al, Ti, Ag, Cr, In, Pt, Mg, Pd, Mo, Ni, Zn and Sn.

7. The capacitor of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode includes a metal-oxide film disposed on a side of the first electrode that faces the dielectric.

8. The capacitor of claim 1 , wherein the capacitor is arranged on a flexible substrate.
