Nuclear Radiation Testing of Diodes, Silicon Controlled Rectifiers, Transistors and Integrated Circuits
Abstract
Extensive nuclear radiation tests were conducted on various types of diodes, transistors, silicon controlled rectifiers, DTL and CMOS integrated circuits for use in digital electronics. The nuclear radiation effects considered during this test program were endoatmospheric, i.e. neutron and gamma dose rates. The digital electronics employing the semiconductors tested are used in either ground systems or low-flying missiles, therefore, no exoatmospheric effects such as x-rays were evaluated. The report documents the components tested, test methods, radiation test facilities used and the test results for each component tested.
