Nanoparticles. Nanostructured materials The nano-MgO films, nano-ZnO films and nanostructured ZnO/MgO bilayer films were synthesized using sol-gel spin coating method. The uniform and smooth nano- ZnO film was utilized as the oxide dielectric template to produce nanostructured ZnO/MgO bilayer films. The nano-MgO films and nanostructured ZnO/MgO bilayer films were deposited at various deposition parameters (solution concentration, number of layer and annealing temperature). The effect of deposition parameters towards morphology and dielectric properties of nano-MgO films and nanostructured ZnO/MgO bilayer films was investigated. The variation of solution concentrations revealed that nano-MgO film and nanostructured ZnO/MgO bilayer film with 0.4M concentration produced improvement in the electrical properties as seen by the uniform particle distribution. The 0.4M nanostructured ZnO/MgO bilayer film showed an increment in dielectric constant, k (5.71) in comparison to 0.4M nano-MgO single layer film. Hence, 0.4M concentration was the optimized solution concentration utilized for both nano-MgO films and nanostructured ZnO/MgO bilayer films, for investigating the number of deposition layers of these films.

With this novel MFIM capacitor configuration, a high electrical strength of polarization-field (P-E) hysteresis loop was obtained.
