The advancement of small size, high CV value, low-voltage MLCCs in commercial systems has raised concerns regarding insulation resistance, IR, degradation, and parametric failures in capacitors due to the migration of oxygen vacancies [3, 4].
Contrary to common belief, it is not the voltage rating (VBR) that is limiting in low-voltage ceramic capacitors. In fact, VBR exceeds the rated voltage by dozens and hundreds of times.
Cracking is the major reason of failures in multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) used in space electronics. Although the probability that as-manufactured capacitors have cracks is relatively low, cracking often occurs during assembly, handling, and the following testing of the systems.
Absorption capacitance increases with the nominal value of capacitance, and is on average ~25% of C0. At relatively low temperatures, intrinsic leakage currents in MLCCs can be described using the Simmons model. At temperatures above 85°C, I-V characteristics follow a power law with the exponent close to 1.5.
Low voltage failure in capacitors can occur at voltages as low as 0.4 V and relative humidity down to ~ 40% RH. This is due to the migration of silver. Fig.5 illustrates an example of a capacitor that failed due to silver electromigration along an internal crack, shorting the opposite electrodes.
A laser marking might cause damage to a ceramic capacitor if the laser power level is above optimal. Different types of capacitors have different requirements to avoid cracking, and laser marking on ceramic capacitors should be done with the appropriate power setting.
Cracking remains the major reason of failures in multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) used in space electronics. Due to a tight quality control of space-grade components, the probability …
