Radiation degrades EEE components and generates device perturbations that could lead to its malfunction or destruction. These effects are highly dependent on the radiation type: gamma radiation, heavy ions, protons, etc., but also on the device technology, the manufacturing lot... Continue reading
The use of radiation tools is justified as a complement of radiation test to verify and optimize the radiation hardness assurance process in the new space market and reduce some cost without a significant loss of the confidence level. Continue reading
DISPLACEMENT DAMAGE Displacement Damage is the result of nuclear interactions, typically scattering, which cause lattice defects. Displacement damage degrades minority carrier lifetime; a typical effect would be degradation of gain and leakage current in bipolar... Continue reading
