Radiation-hardened electronics, referred to as RadHard, are electronic components that are designed and produced to be immune to the damaging exposure of radiation and extreme temperatures found in rugged environments, such as space. Unlike silicon-based technology, where special processing is required to protect the semiconductor against the total ionizing dose (TID) of the effects of radiation, the physical properties…

The Space radiation environment leads to extremely harsh operating conditions for on-board electronics. Radiation accelerates the aging of semiconductor parts and materials, leading to degradation of electrical performance or premature failure. In addition to radiation, operating in space exposes applications to extreme temperatures ranging from -55°C to 125°C for mission lifetimes that can exceed 15…
