All non-conductive materials are dielectric to some degree. Strictly speaking, so are conductive materials.

- 0db532a0 8y agoDo they use the term dielectric to mean non-conductive — I’m aware that they’re not equivalent — or does the dielectric nature of the material have any relevance to the device? Maybe it’s relevant to the working of the gate?
- smaddox 8y agoIt's possible that the dielectric is indeed necessary to isolate the gate from the source/drain, but I can't say for sure.
