Radiation Hardening Applications

1972
Two approaches to the fabrication of radiation-hard dielectrics, utilizing silicon nitride, have been studied; silicon nitride sandwich structure and silicon oxynitride. Radiation-resistant devices investigated to date have included capacitors (MNS and MNOS), MNOS-FETs, bipolar transistors and operational amplifiers.

Optical Disk Radiation Hardening Considerations

SPIE Proceedings, 1988
Optical Disk Memories are assessed in space radiation environments. Total dose and dose rate testing of media including Write Only Read Many (WORM) and Magneto-Optic Erasable technologies is performed and found to be hard to over 1 Mrad(Si). Optics, Optoelectrics and other critical technologies are addressed and hardening considerations presented for ...

Nonvolatile radiation hardened DICE latch

2015 15th Non-Volatile Memory Technology Symposium (NVMTS), 2015
Spintronic-based integrated circuits have been widely considered as potential candidates for space application, due to the fact that their core devices (e.g. magnetic tunnel junction, MTJ) are intrinsic insensitive to radiation effects. However, their CMOS peripheral circuits are still vulnerable to radiation effects.

Radiation Hardened Silica-Based Optical Fibers

1986
Abstract : Since it is generally recognized that radiation-induced loss is due to pre-existing defects in optical fiber, the technical approaches were designed to reduce the number of these defects in as-drawn fiber and to passivate the ones that remain.

Radiation Hardened High Speed Digitizer

2019 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2019
Los Alamos National Laboratory has designed and demonstrated a space-flight quality digitizer board with a CompactPCI interface in the popular 6U form factor. The digitizer board is designed to meet the requirements of missions requiring true space-grade radiation tolerance in geosynchronous orbits.

Radiation-Hardened Wafer Scale Integration

1989
Abstract : This report describes the logical and physical design of a prototype focal plane processor to be built as a wafer-scale circuit in a radiation-hard CMOS process. Design details and test results are presented for the five circuits which were fabricated in bulk CMOS through the MOSIS fabrication service.

Radiation-hardening of semiconductor parts

2002
Abstract ‘Radiation-hardening’ derives from military terminology (see Section 4.1). The term has acquired a wide variety of meanings, depending on the user group and radiation environment concerned. That environment may present a variety of levels of total ionizing dose, transient dose rate, neutrons, or single-event upsets.

Two Radiation-Hardened Analog Multiplexers

IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 1983
A total dose radiation-resistant, high voltage CMOS process has been used to build both eight-and sixteen-channel analog multiplexers. The circuits are hardened versions of the Harris 508A and 1840 dielectrically isolated multiplexers, and meet all specifications of their non-hardened equivalents after total dose exposures of 100k and 200k rad(Si ...
