Experimental results are explained together with drift analyses of electrical parameters that have determined threshold limits of component degradations. Modelling the effects of radiation on GaAs components relies on degradation analysis of active layer which appears to be the most sensitive factor. MMIC's degradation under neutron fluence was simulated from irradiated FET data. Finally, based on sensitivity of technological parameters, rad-hard design including material, technology and MMIC design enhancement is discussed.","PeriodicalId":310087,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Third European Conference on Radiation and its Effects on Components and Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133001835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The degradation of electrical performance of the devices increases with increasing fluence, while it decreases with increasing germanium content. In the Si/sub 1-x/Ge/sub x/ epitaxial layer of devices, an electron capture level which is associated with interstitial boron, is induced. The impact of radiation source on the degradation of performance is correlated with simulations of numbers of knock-on atoms and the nonionizing energy loss. From the experiment of isochronal thermal annealing, it is concluded that the electron capture levels are mainly responsible for the degradation of electrical performance.","PeriodicalId":310087,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Third European Conference on Radiation and its Effects on Components and Systems","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125941110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve this dose, two successive irradiations at dose rates of /spl ap/0.3 kGy/h and /spl ap/24.0 kGy/h were conducted in the CMF gamma irradiation facility of SCK/spl middot/CEN, Mol, Belgium. The radiation-induced attenuation was measured continuously during and after irradiations from 400 nm to 1200 nm. The radiation-induced absorption band at 600 nm was observed in both types of fibre. A saturation of its growth occurred during the first irradiation and persisted during the next irradiation at higher dose rate. This might reveal a hardening phenomenon due to the first irradiation. Radiation-induced attenuation maximum values of 0.5 dB/m and 1.2 dB/m were found at 600 nm for the high-OH and low-OH types respectively. In fibroscopy this radiation-induced absorption band at 600 nm will be a limiting factor. However the radiation resistance improvement after a first irradiation would bring potential benefits.","PeriodicalId":310087,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Third European Conference on Radiation and its Effects on Components and Systems","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126190679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
