(2014-07-30)Department: Electrical EngineeringSingle-event effects (SEEs) in microelectronic devices present a serious reliability concern for space-based applications, where electronic components are exposed to highly energetic ionizing radiation. Single-event effects ...
-
(2014-04-03)Department: Electrical EngineeringWhen ionizing radiation interacts with a semiconductor device, the resulting generation and collection of excess charge carriers can result in a brief transient current at the device terminals. These transient current ...
-
(2009-12-10)Department: Electrical EngineeringDirect charge collection measurements are presented which prove that the presence of tungsten near sensitive volumes leads to extreme charge collection events through nuclear reactions. We demonstrate that, for a fixed ...
-
(2006-11-27)Department: Materials Science and EngineeringHigh-k dielectrics are promising candidates to replace SiO2 in advanced integrated circuits in future space systems. Studies of the effects of ionizing radiation and bias-temperature stress (BTS) on high-k dielectrics were ...
-
(2018-09-18)Department: PhysicsRelativistic Heavy Ion Collisions help us explore the broad field of Quark Gluon Plasma. At a fundamental level, the partons or the quarks and gluons are involved in producing the final state hadrons, which help understand ...
