Ceramic Capacitor Failure Modes There are three typical failure modes of ceramic capacitors to withstand voltage: 1. The first mode: electrode edge ceramic penetration (the breakdown point is at the edge of the silver surface) (1) Possible reasons: ① Powder and its formulation issues ② Poor densification of plain edges Figure. 1
However, if too high a power setting is chosen, then the laser coding can generate cracking down into the sensitive dielectric area. As we explained earlier, cracks are always bad news! Cracking is a serious problem, which is made worse by the non-compliance of the solder joints to the capacitor.
In the course of failure analysis it is helpful to know that most of the time not only the failed ceramic capacitor shows a crack pattern but all the surrounding cercaps as well. Well-founded knowledge of different crack patterns and failure modes also allows us to discover unsafe bending and warping lines on the PCB.
A ceramic capacitor is a fixed value capacitor in which ceramic material acts as the dielectric. It is constructed of two or more alternating layers of ceramic and a metal layer acting as the electrodes. The composition of the ceramic material defines electrical behavior and therefore applications.
Design rules as “5 mm from edges” are not always sufficient. The orientation of the ceramic capacitors to possible sources of bending and warping has to be considered. An alignment parallel to the bending will completely prevent the formation of cracks.
To prevent board failures by failing ceramic capacitors the suppliers of the components took measures to stop catastrophic breakdowns even if they cannot entirely prevent the cracks themselves. First to name is the capacitor design called “open mode” or “fail open” (see Fig. 10).

This gives us a guideline on how to place the ceramic capacitors in optimal orientation not only to depaneling lines but also in the vicinity of mounting and screw openings. Finally we will review the different kinds of cercaps with internal layouts that prevent boards from failing even if flex cracks should show up. 1.

Failure Analysis of Capacitors and Inductors
Unlike other capacitors, typically super CAPS fail in high ESR or open mode. Most of these failures occur because of water evaporation from the electrolyte. Failure analysis involves external and internal examination with optical and X-ray analysis along with basic electrical testing. This is followed by decapsulation of the CAP to examine the ...
