ABSTRACT
We propose a new methodology for lifetime determination of PZT capacitors, based on accelerated tests performed at low voltages and high temperatures. We believe that such a methodology is the only way to characterize the relevant failure mechanism for Time-Dependent Dielectric Breakdown of PZT capacitors. The capacitors lifetime at operating conditions is found to exceed 20 years.
