Abstract

The electrical properties of thin polymer films are key parameters in the design of both smaller and faster circuit devices in the microelectronics industry. In this study, we made a three-layer film structure, ABA', to investigate the dielectric interaction between two high-K dielectric polymer thin films, A and A', as a function of the thickness of the middle B layer. The Cole-Cole plot showed clear changes with the thickness of the middle B layer. The total capacitances were evaluated with a simple serial three capacitances model. This ABA' structure is thought to be very useful for studying mechanical and thermal properties of thin polymer film system.
