Customer ServiceLearn about the causes of capacitor damage, including insulation aging, fuse performance issues, joint heating, and oil leakage in HVDC systems.
Customer ServicePCBA damage can be caused by electrostatic damage (ESD) as PCBAs are particularly susceptible to ESD, and even though we can only feel ESD in the thousands of volts, the slightest discharge may cause a PCBA component failure. This failure may be hidden, in which case the PCBA will continue to work but will have decreased dependability, or it may be catastrophic.
Customer ServiceFactors leading to capacitor failure, their root causes, and an analysis of the key components. Electron microscopy is a vital tool for examining various types of flaws, including molten silicon and broken metallization.
Customer ServiceThese measurements enable the more exact analysis of defects in the insulation with regard to cause and location of the damage. Large power converters are the main factor responsible for voltage and current distortion in electrical networks. These harmonic currents cause harmonic voltage drop along the line impedance distorting the voltage at bus.

Passive components can be broadly divided into Capacitors (CAPS), Resistors, and Inductors (INDS), with each having drastically different functions and hence constructions.
Customer ServiceOne cause of unreliability is failing to design boards to minimise the considerable thermal stresses to which MLCs are subjected during soldering.

Customer ServiceKeysight 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.
After a number of temperature excursions, for example due to circuit operation, the crack may propagate (Figure 3), creating an open-circuit device. In severe cases, the body of the capacitor may even fall out, leaving just remnants of ceramic surrounded by termination and solder joints.
To localize the defect site in the NWell capacitor, further fault isolation analysis using nanoprobing and EBIC techniques was performed confirming the leakage between the plates and detected localized hot spot. FIB cross section followed by STEM and/or TEM analyses found subtle gate oxide damage and/or rupture .
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.
In severe cases, the body of the capacitor may even fall out, leaving just remnants of ceramic surrounded by termination and solder joints. Fortunately, improvements in ceramic technology have reduced the incidence of both types of crack, at least as far as well-made components are concerned.
If there are indications of capacitor damage from the inspections, further physical analysis is to be carried out to expose the defect site. The early involvement and constant communications with foundry, product line, EIPD experts, quality and design teams had been instrumental on the success of the three (3) case studies.
