Right now this is a place holder for a table on different capacitor materials. We will add to it when we get around to it. In the mean time, here is one dielectric you should be familiar with, it is used on most MMICs:

Silicon nitride: Si₃N₄ relative dielectric constant 7.5

BTW, the dielectric constant of silicon nitride can vary depending on how it is deposited. Consult your favorite foundry!
