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
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
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
