Abstract
Ceramic capacitors failed insulation resistance testing at dc voltages far below their rated voltages. Using improved techniques of microanalysis and electrochemical methods, we found that failures resulted from electromigration of electrode materials through a small space in dielectrics filled with a solution containing Cl ions. This mechanism could explain electrical behaviours of failed capacitors.
