Symbol varepsilon_ox

εox\varepsilon_{\text{ox}}
εox\varepsilon_{\text{ox}}

What this part means

the liner’s permittivity.

Its job in the formula

varepsilonon_ox is a part of this expression. Its role is fixed by the surrounding article and by the operations shown in the formula.

Where the article explains it

with rir_i the via’s metal radius, ror_o the outer radius of the oxide liner, and εox\varepsilon_{\text{ox}} the liner’s permittivity, while the bulk silicon beyond it contributes a finite shunt resistance rather than an open circuit.

The passage around this formula

with rir_i the via’s metal radius, ror_o the outer radius of the oxide liner, and εox\varepsilon_{\text{ox}} the liner’s permittivity, while the bulk silicon beyond it contributes a finite shunt resistance rather than an open circuit. A TSV’s insertion loss is therefore not one number but a function of frequency, set by which of those two paths — the liner’s capacitance or the…
