Description
We propose to develop polymer-based negative-positive-zero (NPO) capacitors by combining our proprietary dielectric formulations, film processing technology, and unique capacitor design. As polymer film capacitors have intrinsically high dielectric breakdown strength than multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC), our capacitors will be able to provide high operation voltage > 80 kV. The dielectric formulation and capacitor design will be optimized to minimize the equivalent series resistance (ESR) to achieve the high speed discharging. The self-healing process of polymer film will enable the reliable operation of the capacitors at high electric field close to its breakdown strength without failure, therefore, provide energy density higher than 1 J/cc.
