Radiation-Hardening

Extending the life of microelectronics in high radiation environments

Radiation in natural and manmade environments can significantly impact the operation and long-term performance of microelectronics.  Radiation hardening involves making electronic components and circuits resistant to damage or malfunction caused by high levels of ionizing radiation.  

Transient effects include single-event effects like memory bit flips, while permanent effects include single-event latchups that prevent individual devices from operating.  Mitigation approaches include radiation-hardening by process and radiation-hardening by design.
