Researchers develop high-density microcapacitors using hafnium oxide and zirconium oxide, potentially bringing energy storage directly onto microchips for smaller, more efficient devices.
Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and UC Berkeley have developed microcapacitors with record-high energy and power densities, using engineered thin films of hafnium oxide and zirconium oxide. These materials and fabrication techniques are already widespread in chip manufacturing. The groundbreaking microcapacitors could bring energy storage directly onto microchips, reducing power loss between components and making future electronic devices smaller and more efficient.
