Electromigration is one of failure mechanisms of semiconductor, but the failure mode can appear as a short, open, or characteristic degradation. Capacitors have several failure modes, the degree of which depends on the type of capacitor (Table 1).
Capacitor failures can be described by two basic failure categories: catastrophic failures and degraded failures. Catastrophic failure is the complete loss of function of the capacitor in a circuit. Catastrophic failure, such as open or short circuit, is the complete loss of function of the capacitor.
In addition to these failures, capacitors may fail due to capacitance drift, instability with temperature, high dissipation factor or low insulation resistance. Failures can be the result of electrical, mechanical, or environmental overstress, "wear-out" due to dielectric degradation during operation, or manufacturing defects.
The open circuit failure mode results in an almost complete loss of capacitance. The high ESR failure can result in self heating of the capacitor which leads to an increase of internal pressure in the case and loss of electrolyte as the case seal fails and areas local to the capacitor are contaminated with acidic liquid.
The failure mode of thin film capacitors may be short circuit or open circuit, depending on the dominant failure mechanism. There are only a certain number of electrical breakdown events which can occur within a capacitor before there is a risk of the self-healing process no longer being effective and a short circuit failure mode occurring.
Catastrophic failure is the complete loss of function of the capacitor in a circuit. Catastrophic failure, such as open or short circuit, is the complete loss of function of the capacitor. This failure can cause the enclosure to explode, smoke, ignite, harm other electrical components, or leak liquid or gas from inside the capacitor.
