Abstract
Abstract Disclosed in this invention is a capacitor comprising a dielectric thin film being sandwiched by two layers of thin film electrodes directly or through interposition of a suitable thin film, and lead electrodes connected to said thin film electrodes, said dielectric thin film being a chemically adsorbed monomolecular film or a chemically adsorbed monomolecular built-up film made from a chlorosilane surface active agent. The molecules having large dipoles are incorporated in the molecules of the surface active agent to enhance the dielectric strength of the monomolecular film.
