Parallel Plate Capacitor Calculations

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is going to be based on the area of the plates (A = L * W), the distance between the plates, also known as the material thickness (d), and the dielectric constant of the substrate (K). These values are related by the permittivity of free space (ε0) as follows:
