Michael FaradayMichael Faraday(1791 – 1867)(1791 – 1867)

• Coined the term “dielectric” in the mid 1800’s to indicate that something analogous to current flow occurs through a capacitor during the charging process

• Was described, in the 1879 edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica, by the remark that Faraday is a “chemist, electrician, and philosopher”

• Was offered BUT REFUSED

* Presidency of the Royal Society

* Presidency of the Royal Institution

* Knighthood

He explained: “I must remain plain Michael Faraday to the last; . . . if I accepted the honour which the Royal Society desires to confer upon me, I would not answer for the integrity of my intellect for a single year”

Dielectric Science & Technology DivisionDielectric Science & Technology DivisionBackground and HistoryBackground and History

• Founded in 1945 as the ‘Electric Insulation Division’, primarily due to efforts of F. M. Clark at General Electric

* Offered interdisciplinary forum for discussions on electrical insulation as applied to power transmission, e.g., cables, transformers, and capacitors

* Until ~1960, symposia sponsored by EID involved

- electrophysics - electrical properties of plastics

- wet electrolytic capacitors - wires and cables

- inorganic & organic dielectrics - liquid dielectrics

- high temperature insulation - pre-fabricated circuitry

- chemical aspects of printed wiring

DS&T – Background and HistoryDS&T – Background and History

• In the July, 1952 issue of Journal of The Electrochemical Society, Thomas D. Callinan, then Chair of the Electric Insulation Division, wrote that the Division was formed to:

“. . . promote the attainment and dissemination of knowledge of dielectrics, including the electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties of non-conductors of electricity.

He further remarked that the interest in this field was shifting from:

“. . . power transmission to intelligence transmission”

He further implied that the recent discovery of the transistor would have a major impact on the field of dielectrics!!

This comment has been a cornerstone of the Division’s development

DS&T – Background and HistoryDS&T – Background and History

• Due to the changed emphasis of the Electric Insulation Division, a name change occurred in 1965, when the Division became the

Dielectrics and Insulation Division

* Symposia held between 1965 and 1988 include

- Anodic Oxide Dielectrics for Electrolytic Capacitors

- Silicon Nitride and Silicon Oxide Thin Insulating Films

- Thin Films for Electronic Applications

- Plasma Processing

- Chemical Vapor Deposition

- Multilevel Metallization

NOTE: Some of the above symposia were and continue to be sponsored jointly with the Electronics Division and/or the High Temperature Materials Division

DS&T – Background and HistoryDS&T – Background and History• Again, due to changes in the interests of our members, the D&I Division, underwent a name change in 1990, becoming the

Dielectric Science and Technology Division

* Symposia held since 1989 include

- Diamond and Diamond-like Carbon Films

- Corrosion and Reliability of Electronic Materials and Devices

- Environmental Issues with Materials and Processes for IC Manufacture

- Process Control, Diagnostics, and Modeling in Semiconductor Manufacture

- III-V Nitride Materials and Devices - Rapid Thermal Processing

- ULSI Science and Technology - Polymeric Materials for ICs

NOTE: Some of the above symposia have been co-sponsored with several other Divisions and with other professional societies

Application of an Electric Field to a Dielectric Application of an Electric Field to a Dielectric Produces a Displacement of ChargeProduces a Displacement of Charge

• Charge displacement occurs through a progressive orientation of both permanent and induced dipoles, termed polarization

• Since all materials contain charges of one type or another, essentially every material can be broadlybroadly classified as a dielectric
