  • Abstract
    Dielectric properties of Silicon are studied in a wide frequency-resistivity range. It is shown that the complex dielectric constant of Silicon is strongly modified due to the free charge carrier absorption. In n-type Silicon the real part of the dielectric constant is negative for resistivity below 0.002 Ohm m. Quasi-TEM and fundamental slow waves are discussed in the resistivity/frequency domain.
