RSEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM INTRINSIC RELIABILITY SUBMINIATURE CERAMIC CAPACITORS
Abstract
A slight change in the ceramic composition of the C67 Case Size I MONOLYTHIC capacitor has produced improved current stability which promises longer life. Characteristics of the improved capacitor with respect to leakage and voltage, temperature and time, are presented. An experiment has been started to examine the efficacy of a selection technique for the detection of potential early failures among the improved capacitors. Life testing of 753 capacitors of the original version was continued. Pre-life test characteristics appear to support the life time formula developed during the seventh quarter, although not all the characteristics contained in the formula were determined on the individual capacitors before the start of testing because the formula was developed after the start of life testing. The importance of the elements contained in the life time formula is indicated by the results of other testing presented.
