  3. Importance of Dielectrics to Silicon Chips • Size of devices • Electron Tunneling dimension • Chip Cooling- Device Density • Heat Capacity • Thermal Conductivity • Chip Speed • Capacitance in RC interconnects

  4. Band theory of Dielectrics • Forbidden Zone–Energy Gap-LARGE Conduction Band Valence Band
