SiO2 thin films are widely used in microelectronics, sensors, and photovoltaic cells. Properties of SiO2 Thin Films SiO2 thin films are known for their high dielectric constant, excellent thermal stability, and low electrical conductivity. They also have a low coefficient of thermal expansion, making them useful in applications that require thermal stability. Comparison to Other Dielectric Materials Compared to other dielectric materials, SiO2 has a higher dielectric constant, lower electrical conductivity, and lower thermal expansion coefficient. SiO2 is also more chemically stable and has a higher melting point than many other dielectric materials. Crysta
