Description
Summary:The capacitor device has evolved from a simple device to an innovative and complex device. The capability of a capacitor is very much dependent on capacitance performance. Currently, researchers have shown interest in hybrid composites, which are capable of improving performance and increase reliability of devices. Thus, there is a need to fabricate thin films of hybrid dielectric materials such as polymer (PVDF-TrFE) and ceramic (PbTiO3). This study presents the preparation of the PVDF-TrFE layer for bilayer composite PbTiO3/PVDF-TrFE configured as metal–insulator–metal films capacitor. The deposition process utilised two methods: solvent casting and spin coating. The ceramic layer (first layer), PbTiO3, has optimum dielectric permittivity and tangent loss of about 138 and 0.9 taken at 1 kHz. The polymeric spin-coated layer (second layer) PVDF-TrFE films produced good dielectric property as compared to solvent casting prepared films. This provides an opportunity for further investigation of the dielectric property for enhanced understanding of capacitor-based devices.
