Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electret materials face challenges in thermal stability and performance deterioration in high-temperature environments, with organic polymer-based electrets offering shape freedom but poor thermal stability, and inorganic bulk sintered bodies being difficult to apply on device substrates with limited film thickness control.

Innovation Solution

An electret layer formed by subjecting a composite film with inorganic dielectric particles, having a bandgap energy of 4 eV or more, dispersed in a base film to a polarization treatment, allowing for improved thermal stability, controllable film thickness, and high surface potential.
