Vertical parallel plate (VPP) capacitor elements are being used in RF components for RF CMOS and RF BiCMOS technologies. ESD robustness evaluation of the VPP capacitor is very important for RF applications when these elements are used on the input pads of RF receiver networks.

The capacitive sensors because of their low-cost, low power consumption, small temperature dependence, and high sensitivity are widely used to measure various physical parameters. However, the main limitation to use a capacitive sensors is the effect of parasitic capacitances, which significantly affect the measurement accuracy. So, to avoid the parasitic capacitance, the electrodes are enclosed i...Show More

Isolation capacitors are widely used in high-voltage systems to protect low-voltage circuits and ensure user safety. However, the electric field at the edges of the capacitor is much larger than in the center, which makes the edge structure prone to breakdown, thus affecting its voltage withstand performance. We control the distribution of the electric field by altering the design of the capacitor...Show More

We consider a pair of identical elliptical plates and orient them at an arbitrary angle about their common axis through the centers, and perpendicular to the plates. In terms of the dimensions of the ellipse and their angular orientation we derive an analytic expression for the overlapping area. We then express the orientation angle as a function of time. For at least two mechanical rotational mod...Show More
