Characteristics of power transients in neutron and ionizing radiation environments
Abstract
The effects of neutron and ionizing radiation on power transistors are studied. In most electronic systems, power transistors are the most susceptible to these environments. An understanding of the mechanisms involved and predictability based on electrical characteristics permit optimum tradeoffs for a radiation hard design.
