Real-world circuit elements
Breakdown. For real-world capacitors the most likely departure from the ideal capacitor equation happens if the voltage across the capacitor becomes so large the insulation between the plates breaks down. When this happens, a spark can burn through the insulation. No more capacitor. Real capacitors have a voltage rating that should not be exceeded.

What is a capacitor dielectric breakdown?
This refers to the root cause (capacitor dielectric breakdown) that was successfully uncovered after the thorough review on the die circuit schematic, inspection of the capacitors connected to the EIPD sites, review of the fault isolation results and pursuing the further physical failure analysis.
What are the advances in capacitor failure analysis?
Advancements in failure analysis have been made in root cause determination and stress testing methods of capacitors with extremely small (approximately 200 nm) defects. Subtrac-tive imaging has enabled a non-destructive means of locating a capacitor short site, reducing the FIB resources needed to analyze a defect.
Do capacitor defects contribute to infant and latent failures in integrated circuits?
Capacitor defects significantly contribute to infant and latent failures in integrated circuits. This paper will address methods of locating capacitor defects and root cause determi-nation. Keysight Technologies’ failure analysis team investigated tens of failures in an externally purchased voltage controlled oscillator (VCO).
What happens if a capacitor is below a nominal rating?
A capacitance value significantly below the nominal rating is indicative of dielectric failure or deterioration, necessitating replacement. Visual inspections should complement these tests, particularly in high-power circuits where capacitors in power supply filter sections are more susceptible to failure.
What happens if a power supply capacitor fails?
Power supply capacitors are often subjected to voltage surges and rapid switching, which can induce premature failure. The implications of capacitor failures in PCBs are far-reaching, ranging from minor signal degradation to complete system breakdown.
What causes a capacitor to fail?
Keysight Technologies’ failure analysis team determined the root cause of these failures to be voids in the capacitor dielectric layer. The voids allowed the propagation of metal into the dielec-tric layer. This metal migration led to latent failures in the field.
