Abstract

This paper reviews the interpretation of impedance and capacitance spectra for different capacitor technologies and discusses how basic electrical characteristics can be inferred from them. The basis of the interpretation is the equivalent circuit for capacitors. It is demonstrated how the model parameters, such as capacitance and equivalent series resistance, can be extracted from the measured spectra. The aspects of measurement accuracy are exemplarily discussed on the measured spectra.
