The thermal breakdown voltage VTB of the capacitor, where zero differential resistance appears, depends on the sample history and production technology used. The sample temperature will increase with increasing current and for a current of 120 mA temperature rises up to 100 °C can occur.
For standard tantalum in the normal operation mode, an electrical breakdown can be stimulated by an increase of the electrical conductance in channel by an electrical pulse or voltage level. This leads to capacitor destruction followed by thermal breakdown.
Breakdown causes a brief short-circuit followed by a rapid restoration of normal behaviour, so the circuit survives. Ceramic capacitors are not self-healing, so working voltages are ∼ 0.2 × breakdown voltage. the actual breakdown field of a dielectric is « intrinsic dielectric strength.
Tantalum capacitor failure modes have been discussed both for the standard manganese dioxide cathode and the new conductive polymer (CP) type. For standard tantalum in the normal operation mode, an electrical breakdown can be stimulated by an increase of the electrical conductance in channel by an electrical pulse or voltage level.
The mechanism of breakdown in capacitors with exposed electrodes is likely a surface flashover that is initiated at the weakest spot on the surface between two electrodes, and then spreads along the electrical field to the neighboring areas.
If the ESR and current are known, the power dissipation and thus, the heat generated in the capacitor can be calculated. From this, plus the thermal resistance of the ca-pacitor and its external connections to a heat sink, it be-comes possible to determine the temperature rise above ambient of the capacitor.
