Application of thin dielectric, base metal electrode (BME) ceramic capacitors for high-reliability applications requires development of testing procedures that can assure high quality and reliability of the parts. In this work, distributions of breakdown voltages (VBR) in variety of low-voltage BME multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) have been measured and analyzed.
There are two main types of ceramic capacitor based on their construction viz. multi layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) and ceramic disc capacitors. They are available with small values from 1 nF to 1 µF. Ceramic capacitors with values up to 100 µF are also possible to design. They are available in small sizes and with low maximum rated voltage.
Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) are essential components of modern electrical devices. Preventing failures caused by infant mortality and sudden breakdowns that
Reliability tests are tests for predicting quality during the time a product will be used, from factory shipment to the end of mechanical lifetime in the market. The aim is to select stress factors that correlate strongly with the market environment, set the size of the stress and duration of application and accurately assess product
High values of VBR (similar to IR) provide assurance that the parts have no gross defects that might cause failures. Contrary to IR, VBR can be measured accurately. The consistency of the

At the time, neither reworking nor direct wiring on a ceramic chip capacitor were forbidden by the applicable product assurance requirements. Rework processes (or reprocessing) are no longer authorized following revision of the applicable ECSS standard in 2017 (ECSS-Q-ST-70-38C rev1). In addition, since 2019, the Memo ESA-TECQTM-MO-1143 also forbids direct
Paradigm shift in quality assurance for COTS capacitors. Reliability assurance is the most important element of QA. Risk of using COTS: Risk = Pm × (consequences of failure).

Ceramic Capacitors. Ceramic capacitors are another popular type of capacitor used in audio equipment. These capacitors use a ceramic material as the dielectric, providing a reliable and consistent performance over a wide range of frequencies. Ceramic capacitors are often used in combination with other capacitors to provide a more complete

In presence of moisture, silver is a susceptible material of electromigration, and for this reason, cracking of PME (Precious Metal Electrode) capacitors creates a high risk of electricity failures, such as short circuit. The described phenomena are shown in Figure 3. Fig. 1. Microcrack formation Fig. 2. Crack propagation
The most probably root cause is related to a potential leakage of a ceramic capacitor. This capacitor had to be replaced as a result of a non-compliance detected during manufacturing and testing phase. For the repair process, the capacitor was assembled using direct wiring soldering process.
In addition, since 2019, the Memo ESA-TECQTM-MO-1143 also forbids direct wiring of type II ceramic chip capacitors and recommends the use of dedicated patch boards. This has been included in the recent ECSS-Q-ST-70-61C, issued on 8thApril 2022.
In this context, ESA has initiated an investigation to assess rework and repair processes for tantalum and flexible termination ceramic capacitors. The procurement of the components is relatively long due to current lead times and EEE components general shortage.
In both cases, the failures occurred on ceramic capacitors, being the first case related to rework processes. That is why reworking processes on of type II ceramic capacitors is forbidden in ECSS-Q-ST-70-61C.
