In microelectronics, devices made up of two electrodes separated by an insulating barrier are subject to multiple of microdischarges -- referred to as microfilaments -- at the same spot. Now have elucidated the mechanism of microdischarge reoccurrence, by attributing it to the temperature increase in a single microdischarge.
