Data are presented on the dielectric strength of thin polymer films. The conclusion is drawn that the electron avalanche concept is inapplicable to the breakdown of thin films. It is proposed to consider electrical breakdown as a consequence of an abrupt local field enhancement induced by evolution of the space charge injected into the polymer from electrodes. It is shown that the lifetime of polymer films depends exponentially on electric field strength. (c) 2005 Pleiades Publishing, Inc.
