Unfortunately, this mechanism can be dificult to control, and in the worst case, a run-away process can result, causing the destruction of the entire capacitor in short order. To avoid this, KYOCERA AVX developed a controlled self-healing process in 1974 based on the segmentation of overall capacitance into elementary cells protected by fuse gates.
Self-healing in polymer capacitors involves (i) thermal rupture of the filaments, (ii) formation of voids in the cathode layers, and (iii) charge trapping in the polymer cathode that decreases anomalous currents caused by drying and discharging during breakdown. This work was sponsored by the NASA Electronic Parts and Packaging (NEPP) program.
Catastrophic failures and associated explosions or fires are unacceptable. Just as importantly, service lifetime and predictability for optimizing up-time are critical to the product's success. Film capacitors with controlled self-healing are the ideal solution to these challenges and can be obtained in various sizes and technical specifications.
Breakdown in tantalum capacitors is due to progressive micro-scintillation events caused by the growth of conductive filaments composed of oxygen vacancies. A combined effect of multiple micro-scintillations at a defect site in the dielectric results in structural changes in the pellet and damage to cathode layers.
During self-clearing of metallized film capacitors, there is a gradual decrease of capacitance as a result of an increasing number of self-clearing events, which eventually leads to catastrophic breakdown of the capacitor; for example, see Figure 4 B.
Reliability of tantalum capacitors depends on the efficiency of self-healing that restores parts after breakdown. In this work, different types of polymer and MnO2 cathode capacitors have been tested for scintillation breakdown using a constant current stress (CCS) technique modified to allow detection of amplitudes and duration of current spikes.

How does the self-healing mechanism in mylar capacitors work? When a local breakdown occurs in a mylar capacitor due to overvoltage or electrical stress, the high current density at the fault site causes the metallization around the fault to vaporize, isolating the defective area from the rest of the capacitor. This self-healing mechanism allows the capacitor …
