Application of Weibull distribution analysis to the dielectric failure of multilayer ceramic capacitors
نویسنده
چکیده
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 the distribution of breakdown voltages and mechanical strength of MLCs. By Weibull analysis, the lately developed relaxor-based MLCs are found to compare favorably with traditional barium-titanate-based MLCs, implying that relaxor MLCs are more attractive than generally realised. © 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.

Failure Analysis of Dielectric Breakdowns in Base-Metal Electrode Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors
Leakage current measurements of BaTiO3-based X7R multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) with base-metal electrodes (BMEs) have revealed three distinct failure modes: avalanche breakdown (ABD), thermal runaway (TRA), and slow degradation. Failure analysis (FA) was performed for a number of BME capacitors that failed with the aforementioned three failure modes. The samples that failed with ABD had...
