Microelectronics, radiation, and superconductivity.
Among the costs of technology are health hazards that face employees and consumers. New advances in the highly competitive field of microelectronics involve exposure to a variety of hazards such as gallium arsenide. Small high-technology industries appear unprepared to invest in health and safety. Although stray electromagnetic fields are not a new development, researchers are beginning to asse...
متن کاملRadiation-Induced Prompt Photocurrents in Microelectronics: Physics
The effects of photocurrents in nuclear weapons induced by proximal nuclear detonations are well known and remain a serious hostile environment threat for the US stockpile. This report describes the final results of an LDRD study of the physical phenomena underlying prompt photocurrents in microelectronic devices and circuits. The goals of this project were to obtain an improved understanding o...
متن کاملAn Application of Semiparametric Bayesian Isotonic Regression to the Study of Radiation Effects in Space- borne Microelectronics
This work is concerned with the vulnerability of spaceborne microelectronics to single event upset, a change of state caused by high-energy charged particles in the solar wind or the cosmic ray environment striking a sensitive node. To measure the susceptibility of a semiconductor device to single event upsets, testing is conducted by exposing it to highenergy heavy ions or protons produced in ...
متن کاملBiological Effects of Space Radiation
The radiation exposure in space missions can be reduced by appropriate measures, but it cannot be prevented. The reason is that space radiations due to their high energy deeply penetrates in matter. In comparison to the shielding thickness of the atmosphere of approximately 10 meter water equivalent, a spacecraft provides only 1-30 cm shielding depending on the equipment installed inside the sp...
متن کاملAdvanced Space Instruments
nstruments are the key components of almost all space missions. They monitor the environment at Earth, observe other planets, and gather intelligence information, providing these data to scientists and analysts on the ground. APL has had a long history of providing innovative space instruments for in situ and remote sensing observations for both DoD and NASA. Future missions will require instru...
