An electrically insulating or nonconducting material considered for its electric susceptibility, i.e. its property of polarization when exposed to an external electric field
A material that conducts no current when it has voltage applied to it Two dielectrics used in semiconductor processing are silicon dioxide and silicon nitride
1) any insulating medium which intervenes between two conduits and permits electrostatic attraction or repulsion to take place across it 2) a material having the property that energy required to establish an electric field is recoverable in whole or in part, as electric energy (see insulation for clarification)

Material that does not conduct electricity Generally used for making capacitors, insulating conductors (as in crossover and multilayered circuits) and for encapsulating circuits
Insulating material or a very poor conductor of electric current. Dielectrics have no loosely bound electrons, and so no current flows through them. When they are placed in an electric field, the positive and negative charges within the dielectric are displaced minutely in opposite directions, which reduces the electric field within the dielectric. Examples of dielectrics include glass, plastics, and ceramics
A material typically used as an insulator that contains few (if any) free electrons, has low electrical conductivity and supports electrostatic stresses
The nonconducting material used to separate conducting materials New copper/low-k interconnects have shown to improve circuit density, speed, reliability, and reduce interconnect cross-talk
A material that is nonmetallic and non-conductive Generally used to describe the insulating material surrounding the center conductor of a coaxial cable
An insulator Localized regions of dielectric materials are used in semiconductor devices to provide electrical isolation between dice, between metal interconnect layers, and between the gate electrode and the channel
