ANALYSIS OF FAILURE MECHANISMS WITH HIGH ENERGY RADIATION.
Abstract
This program is being conducted to analyze and identify specific modes of failure in semiconduc tor materials, semiconductor devices, and insulat ing materials with the use of high-energy radia tion. During the first three months of this con tract a literature search was conducted with par ticular emphasis on radiation effects in semicon ductors; a program outline for the remainder of the contract was established, and a preliminary experimental program on the effects of gamma radiation on germanium and silicon diodes was partially completed. Special tools for analysis of the structure of materials, such as nuclear magnetic resonance and electron-paramagnetic res onance are under development and will be applied as soon as they become available.
