Abstract

In the testing of capacitors and capacitor circuits, one is interested in their reliability. Thus, one studies various types of breakdowns under accelerated stress conditions: e.g., stressed under increasing voltage or current to determine voltage or current breakdown (VBD or CBD) and time to failure under static voltage or current load or cycles to failure. The BD formalism allows one to relate BD under different testing protocols and to project the reliability to normal operating conditions.
