Abstract

We present an investigation on the impact of device edge termination on Time-Dependent Dielectric Breakdown (TDDB) in galvanic isolators based on polymeric dielectrics. By means of experimental and numerical analyses, we highlight that electrode thickness and device passivation are important design elements to limit the impact of electric field intensification at device on TDDB and prolong device lifetime. Results point out key aspects to consider to push the performance and the reliability of modern galvanic isolators to their ultimate limits.

期刊介绍： Microelectronics Reliability, is dedicated to disseminating the latest research results and related information on the reliability of microelectronic devices, circuits and systems, from materials, process and manufacturing, to design, testing and operation. The coverage of the journal includes the following topics: measurement, understanding and analysis; evaluation and prediction; modelling and simulation; methodologies and mitigation. Papers which combine reliability with other important areas of microelectronics engineering, such as design, fabrication, integration, testing, and field operation will also be welcome, and practical papers reporting case studies in the field and specific application domains are particularly encouraged. Most accepted papers will be published as Research Papers, describing significant advances and completed work. Papers reviewing important developing topics of general interest may be accepted for publication as Review Papers. Urgent communications of a more preliminary nature and short reports on completed practical work of current interest may be considered for publication as Research Notes. All contributions are subject to peer review by leading experts in the field.
