Radiation Effects Center of Excellence
Abstract
The proposed program will create a Center of Excellence (COE) in Radiation Effects in Electronic Materials, Devices, Circuits, and Systems. The COE will be led by Vanderbilt University, in primary partnership with Ohio State University (OSU) and the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB), each of which are amongst the world leaders in their respective areas within the COE. Vanderbilt’s Institute for Space and Defense Electronics (ISDE) is the leading academic organization that specializes in radiation effects in electronics. ISDE partners with organizations that are developing or manufacturing advanced technologies for other applications and conducting radiation effects studies on their devices to support a wide array of defense and space applications. The proposed COE leverages many existing relationships. We envision synergies with additional technology-development programs, including other USAF-funded research efforts. The team has extensive experience in all aspects of radiation effects, from the atomic scale through system-level effects, with particular expertise in connecting experiments to radiation-enabled models. The work will combine theoretical methods with experimental data from state-of-the-art devices and test structures and integrated circuits based on emerging technologies.
