            Abstract : 
The influence of proof-test voltage and testing time on the working-life distribution of thin film capacitors is presented. The proof-test not only eliminates capacitors with low breakdown voltage, it decreases the working life of the remaining components. A short proof-test is proposed to avoid degrading the remaining components. The test method for estimating the distribution parameters is presented.
