Abstract :
In this work, we deal only with the case of a uniform dielectric film on top of a flat conductor. Our goal is to demonstrate the possibility to measure the thickness and dielectric constant of the dielectric coating by capacitance measurements in a nondestructive way and to estimate the resolution of this technique.
