“…The miniaturization of electronic devices viz., metal-insulator-semiconductor, RF (radio frequency) micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) capacitive switch, RF MEMS phase shifter, dynamic random access memory, electro luminescent devices etc., along with improved performance ( high speed, reduce size and low power consumption ) have been demonstrated by replacing low-k dielectrics such as SiO 2, Si 3 N 4 or its oxynitrides by high-k dielectrics [1,3,4].…”
