Abstract

This work discusses a simple and effective method to determine the short-term repeatability of current measurements in a large range of currents. With this method, we obtain a quantitative estimate of the background fluctuations that obscure the soft breakdown signal of a large area capacitor under constant voltage stress. Details of the fluctuations are discussed, as well as the consequences for soft breakdown detection.
