Key Details
Official Description
Microelectronic systems designed to operate in space must be tested to ensure they can function reliably in a high radiation environment [3]. Currently such tests are done at large, existing heavy-ion accelerator facilities that cannot meet demand [2]. While heavy ions represent the current gold-standard for single-event effect (SEE) testing [4], a new methodology using small packets of high-energy electrons interacting in a manner that makes them an equivalent surrogate for heavy ions is showin...
