Reliability of dielectric materials: dielectric strength
Electrical parameters of a capacitor
Non-ceramic capacitors
Ceramic capacitors; disc-type, tubular type, MLCC, high
power capacitors…
Test conditions
- Sample geometry; Fig. 5.1
- Immersing in an insulating liquid to avoid the risk of ‘flash-
over’ across the specimen surface
- Should be specified AC or DC, the rate of voltage increase,
freq., waveforms etc.
5.2.2 BD mechanisms
(a) Intrinsic BD
Avalanche BD; the kinetic E. of electrons in conduction band
increases with the field enough to ionize constituent ions
Typically the order of 1MV/cm
(b) Thermal BD
Joule heating increases the specimen temperature and leads to
an increase in conductivity and to dielectric loss

5.2.2 BD mechanisms
(c) Discharge BD
• BD can be initiated at pores, analogous with the mechanical
strength
• BDV decreases with specimen size, because a decrease in
size reduces the probability of occurrence of a critical defect
at a given stress (Fig. 5.3)
• E field concentration on cavity
