As electronic devices continue to develop, there is a growing demand for materials capable of supporting new physical properties, such as flexibility, stretchability, low‐temperature processability, applicability to large areas or ultra‐thin films, and operation at extremely low voltages. Metal oxide dielectrics, such as silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, and hafnium oxide, offer excellent dielectric properties, but their ability to meet these new properties and the choice of substrate is limited. Therefore, a new dielectric material capable of providing stable dielectric properties with new functionalities is required. In this review, we briefly introduce the physical principles of dielectric materials and the recent trends of nonoxide dielectrics which satisfy requirements of new functionalities. We discussed various nonoxide dielectric materials of organic, self‐assembled mono/multilayers, electrolytes, two‐dimensional (2D) materials, and metal halides. Finally, we conclude with an outlook and challenges on dielectric materials for next‐generation micro‐ and macro‐electronics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
