DIELECTRIC HIGH GRADIENT INSULATOR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE

摘要

A dielectric high gradient insulator device comprises a stack of at least two dielectric layers which are in physical contact with each other and which have different dielectric constants. At least two dielectric layers are configured to form a shaped electric field, when the device is placed between electrodes having a voltage difference. The shaped electric field is in a region proximal to a surface of the at least two dielectric layers, and causes deflection of negatively charged particles away from the surface, thereby inhibiting voltage breakdown of the device. A method of manufacturing the device is also presented.
