“…Such oxide-based nanolaminates have been studied as materials able to provide good compromise between leakage current density and dielectric permittivity, enhancing charge storage capability of capacitor dielectrics while aiming at the improvement of the performance of, e.g., electroluminescent devices [10,14], field effect transistors [2,7,13,18,20], and memories [5,9,16,21,22]. Especially important industrially are the ZrO 2 -Al 2 O 3 -ZrO 2 structures [24] used in dynamic random access memory cells. Nanolaminates may also perform as gas-diffusion barriers for reliable encapsulation of organic electronics [3], show long term durability as corrosion-protective layers [17], act as optical filters tuning the reflection from silicon substrate [11] or as hard X-ray mirrors [15].…”
