GfW handbook: Irradiation test guidelines for radiation hardness of electronic components
Abstract
Irradiation test methods and standardized application are proposed, in order to improve comparison of test results. The interaction of different radiation species with matter (ionization and displacement) is described. Application of appropriate radiation sources, dosimetry problems, and sheilding for simulating space radiation effects by laboratory testing are discussed. Irradiation sources are characterized. Flowcharts of the planning and running of irradiation tests are given. Guidelines for running the tests are established. The test system can handle devices of high complexity, up to microprocessors.
