Abstract
An electret consisting of a conductive electrode embedded in insulating materials, is provided. In comparison with conventional electrets comprising a dielectric storage member, this electret exhibits a much higher capacity. Moreover it can be manufactured together with an integrated circuit incorporating the structure according to the invention, onto its substrate. For charging the electret an electrolytic process is utilized, if necessary through an opening perforated in the upper insulating layer. In the latter case the metal constituting the electrode can be advantageously be oxidized by anodic oxidation. The lifetime is improved by the oxide layer.
