Do capacitor defects contribute to infant and latent failures in integrated circuits?
Capacitor defects significantly contribute to infant and latent failures in integrated circuits. This paper will address methods of locating capacitor defects and root cause determi-nation. Keysight Technologies’ failure analysis team investigated tens of failures in an externally purchased voltage controlled oscillator (VCO).
Why are capacitor defects important?
Defects in circuit elements, such as capacitors, are as important as any other cause of device fallout. Historically, integrated capacitors have been a leading reason for early failure, so this work describes the detection, root cause analysis, and the mitigation of three types of capacitor defects.
What happened to capacitor failures?
By the end of the defect reduction efforts (in just one factory), capacitor failures had dropped to 5%, whereas many of those fallouts now originate from other external factories which utilize different semiconductor technologies and have different capacitor formation methods.
Are integrated capacitors a leading cause of early failure?
Historically, integrated capacitors have been a leading reason for early failure, so this work describes the detection, root cause analysis, and the mitigation of three types of capacitor defects. Fig. 1 Pareto Chart of customer fallout causes by year from 2008 through 2016.

Metal “spit” from evaporation deposition of capacitor bottom plate. Left photo shows deposition of the defect and subsequent shadowing. Right photo is Focused Ion Beam (FIB) cross-section of the defect formed within a MIM capacitor. Particle, or physical defects are the one of the most common types of defects reported to cause capacitor failures.
What is a catastrophic failure of a capacitor?
Catastrophic failure is the complete loss of function of the capacitor in a circuit. Catastrophic failure, such as open or short circuit, is the complete loss of function of the capacitor. This failure can cause the enclosure to explode, smoke, ignite, harm other electrical components, or leak liquid or gas from inside the capacitor.
