Modern computer memories use parallel-plate capacitors to store information, and these capacitors are the basic elements of a random- access memory (RAM) chip. Assume one of these capacitors has plates with area L x L with L = 0.21 μm and a plate separation of 10 nm. The usual dielectric found between the plates is composed of SiO₂ and has a dielectric constant close to that of glass. What is the capacitance of the RAM capacitor when it is filled with SiO₂? F
