  • First Online:
Hybrid Nanocomposites for Nanotechnology

Abstract

Hybrid inorganic–organic nanocomposite materials with their widely varying electrical and mechanical properties offer promising applications in many areas of the electronic industry and have been traditionally employed as insulators and dielectrics. The development of new materials has broadened their utilization into areas where their semi-conducting and conducting properties have encouraged use in many novel applications. In this chapter we have reviewed on the material aspects of nanocomposites used in the following electronic applications: integrated circuits, embedded capacitors, transistors, lithium ion batteries, light emitting diodes, information storage, and briefly about liquid crystal, flat panel displays and ultra large scale integrated (ULSI) devices.
