About Attofarads
The attofarad (aF) equals 10⁻¹⁸ F, the scale for quantum-mechanical and nanoscale capacitances. Carbon-nanotube transistor gate capacitances are 1-100 aF; single-electron tunnel junctions in Coulomb-blockade devices operate in the attofarad range; scanning-probe microscopy tip-sample junctions at sub-nanometre separation approach 1 aF. 1 aF = 10⁻³ fF = 10⁻¹⁸ F.
About Nanofarads
The nanofarad (nF) equals 10⁻⁹ F, covering ceramic and film bypass capacitors, ESD protection networks, and resonant filter circuits. X7R ceramic decoupling capacitors are commonly 10-100 nF; RC snubber networks in power electronics use 1-100 nF; audio equalisation and RF tuning networks use nanofarad-range components. 1 nF = 10⁻³ µF = 10⁻⁹ F.
