Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A filtering film structure includes a film, a conductive layer and a dielectric layer. The film includes a plurality of holes. The conductive layer is disposed on the inner surface of the holes, and the dielectric layer is disposed on the conductive layer. When applying a voltage to the conductive layer, an electrical charge layer forms on the surface of the dielectric layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A filtering film structure, comprising: a film comprising a plurality of holes; a conductive layer disposed on an inner surface of the holes; and a dielectric layer disposed on the conductive layer; an electrical charge layer formed on the surface of the dielectric layer when a voltage is applied to the conductive layer. 2. The filtering film structure of claim 1 , wherein the material of the film comprises aluminum oxide. 3. The filtering film structure of claim 1 , wherein the material of the conductive layer comprises metal, metal oxide or alloy. 4. The filtering film structure of claim 3 , wherein the metal comprises aluminum, indium, tin, zinc, silver, gold, or platinum. 5. The filtering film structure of claim 1 , wherein the material of the dielectric layer comprises HfO 2 , ZrO 2 , BaTiO 3 , or Al 2 O 3 . 6. The filtering film structure of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the conductive layer is between 1 nm and 100 nm. 7. The filtering film structure of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the dielectric layer is between 1 nm and 100 nm. 8. The filtering film structure of claim 1 , wherein the electrical charge layer has a largest thickness of 100 nm. 9. The filtering film structure of claim 1 , wherein the inner diameter of the holes is between 10 nm and 500 nm. 10. The filtering film structure of claim 1 , wherein the inner diameter of the holes is shrunk when the voltage is applied to the conductive layer. 11. The filtering film structure of claim 1 , wherein the voltage is between 0.01V and 100V.
