    Microcapacitors Could Power Chips of the Future

    Microcapacitors made with engineered hafnium oxide/zirconium oxide films in 3D trench capacitor structures achieve record-high energy storage and power density, paving the way for on-chip energy storage.

      As we try to pack more transistors into smaller packages, delivering power across the chip becomes increasingly difficult. To get around this problem, researchers have been attempting to integrate energy storage directly onto the chips, which will potentially reduce losses. However, for on-chip storage
