Building a Better Capacitor with Thin-Film Atomic Layer Deposition Processing
Pike, Christopher.
The goal of this research is to determine procedures for creating ultra-high capacity supercapacitors by using nanofabrication techniques and high k-value dielectrics. One way to potentially solve the problem of climate change is to switch the source of energy to a source that doesn't release many tons of greenhouse gases, gases which cause global warming, into the Earth's atmosphere. These trap in more heat from the Sun's solar energy and cause global temperatures to rise. Atomic layer depositi... Show Full Abstract
The goal of this research is to determine procedures for creating ultra-high capacity supercapacitors by using nanofabrication techniques and high k-value dielectrics. One way to potentially solve the problem of climate change is to switch the source of energy to a source that doesn't release many tons of greenhouse gases, gases which cause global warming, into the Earth's atmosphere. These trap in more heat from the Sun's solar energy and cause global temperatures to rise. Atomic layer deposition will be used to create a uniform thin-film of dielectric to greatly enhance the abilities of our capacitors and will build them on the nanoscale. Show Partial Abstract
