Ceramic capacitors are pretty much the pixie dust of the electronics world. If you sprinkle enough of them on a circuit, everything will work. These ceramic capacitors aren’t the newest and latest ...

Capacitance-voltage (C-V) testing is widely used to determine semiconductor parameters, particularly in MOSCAP and MOSFET structures. However, other types of semiconductor devices and technologies ...

Electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) is an advanced non‐invasive imaging modality used to visualise the internal distribution of materials by measuring variations in capacitance. The technique has ...

Improving the capacitance of supercapacitors requires gaining control over ion behavior inside carbon nanopores. This study ...

Last month's column explained that AC current flowing through an inductance reaches its peak amplitude after the voltage. Lagging current is characteristic of an inductive circuit. Capacitive circuits ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. In any industry, there are applications whose failure could mean lost revenue and increased annoyance. In very few ...

One thing that never changes in the passive component market is miniaturization. Whether it is shrinking the size of the capacitors and resistors or packing higher performance in the same package size ...

Scanning Capacitance Microscopy (SCM) and Scanning Spreading Resistance Microscopy (SSRM) are both well-established scanning probe-based techniques for two-dimensional carrier profiling. Driven by the ...

A voltage divider is a passive linear circuit used to create a voltage less than or equal to the input voltage. It is a conversion device composed of a high-voltage arm and a low-voltage arm. The ...
