Instrumentation and Detectors 2020-10-14 v1 Applied Physics

Abstract

For one PCB trace region, where bare high voltage trace goes near GND pad, we estimated an electrical breakdown voltage in low vacuum using simplified geometrical model under some assumptions. Experimental measurement of Paschen curve for the PCB board considered was proceed in pressure range from 2x10-3 mbar to 25 mbar.
