Abstract :
The electrical breakdown of plasma polymer films was studied by applying rectangular voltage pulses. Experimental evidence indicates that the breakdown field increases after incorporation of fluorine atoms into the film when the pulse width is <5 μs. This is due to the scattering of electronic carriers caused by C-F bonds
