Design Guidelines for Preventing Flex Cracking Failures in Ceramic Capacitors

چکیده
Surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) are one of the most common components found on modern circuit card assemblies. Introduced in 1977, they are well known for their reliability and have been rapidly accepted by the electronics industry. The reliability of a nominal MLCC is extremely high, with expected operating lifetimes in the decades, if not hundreds of years. However, to attain these levels of reliability MLCCs must have no critical defects and be used properly. Reliability problems can occur due to improper handling or because of the presence of defects, introduced during the manufacturing or assembly processes.

متن کاملEffects of Lead-Free Solders on Flex Performance
Ceramic capacitors have proven themselves very reliable with extremely low failure rates. As processes continue to improve, reliability of the dielectric also continues to increase. This increase in the reliability of the dielectric has caused other categories to emerge as the main contributors to the overall failure rate. A recent review of field failure analysis of surface mount MLCCs, has sh...

Application of Weibull distribution analysis to the dielectric failure of multilayer ceramic capacitors
The Weibull distribution has been previously applied to the mechanical and dieiectric failures of ceramics. In this paper, it is confirmed by experiment that this data treatment method is also valid for application in the dielectric failure of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCs) which have undergone screening. The Weibull modulus is found to be a useful parameter indicating the sharpness of th...
