Tag - 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 transistors.
When Displacement Damage happens, the incident particle creates defects by colliding with an atom of the crystal (recoil atom) which provokes damage to the electrical characteristics of certain devices. The Displacement Damage test consists in measuring parameter drifts for different proton fluences.
