Abstract:
1. A ferroic circuit element comprising: a layer of ferroic voltage switched dielectric (VSD) material, the ferroic VSD material to exhibit nonlinear resistance as a function of voltage; a first conductive structure and a second conductive structure, the first and second conductive structures positioned directly on top of the layer of ferroic VSD material such that bottom portions of the first and second conductive structures are at least partially embedded within the layer of ferroic VSD material, the first and second conductive structures arranged in a horizontal plane that is parallel to the layer of ferroic VSD material, the first and second conductive structures separated by a first horizontal gap; a substrate; and a conductive plane in contact with the layer of ferroic VSD material, wherein the first and second conductive structures and the ferroic VSD material cause the ferroic circuit element to exhibit a frequency-dependent impedance, wherein the ferroic VSD material, the first and second conductive structures, and the conductive plane are at least partially disposed within the substrate, wherein the conductive plane is disposed between the layer of ferroic VSD material and the substrate, and wherein each of the first and second conductive structures form a capacitor comprising two or more layers of conductors and ferroic VSD material interspersed between each of the conductors, wherein each of the two or more layers of conductors are substantially parallel and substantially overlay one another.
