1. Advanced insulation systems for microelectronics

   In electronic devices with small dimensions partial discharges can occur at AC voltage exceeding 500 V. Since partial discharges are repeated in each period of operating voltage they may cause the destruction of the insulation in a very short time, especially by working frequency higher than some tens of kHz. Aim of the work is the application of appropriate materials and design solutions to increase the resistance of electronic equipments against partial discharges.
