radiation hardening

Radiation hardening is often accomplished by increasing the size of transistors who share a drain/source region at the node.

Radiation hardening mitigates these effects.

Radiation hardening is the designing of electronic parts and systems so they can withstand the damage done by ionizing radiation.

Radiation hardening is the strengthening of the material in question by the introduction of defect clusters, impurity-defect cluster complexes, dislocation loops, dislocation lines, voids, bubbles and precipitates.

Since the area and power overhead of radiation hardening can be restrictive to design, the technique is often applied selectively to nodes which are predicted to have the highest probability of resulting in soft errors if struck.

ATLAS-I was the largest NNEMP (Non-Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse) generator in the world, designed to test the radiation hardening of strategic aircraft systems against EMP pulses from nuclear warfare.

That analysis and the Dragon design - which uses an overall fault-tolerant triple-redundant computer architecture, rather than individual radiation hardening of each computer processor - was reviewed by independent experts before being approved by NASA for the cargo flights.

Radiation hardening of the warhead's electronic components as a countermeasure to high altitude neutron warheads somewhat reduces the range that a neutron warhead could successfully cause an unrecoverable glitch by the TREE (transient radiation effects on electronics) mechanism.

Radiation hardening is the act of making electronic components and systems resistant to damage or malfunctions caused by ionizing radiation (particle radiation and high-energy electromagnetic radiation), such as those encountered in outer space and high-altitude flight, around nuclear reactors and particle accelerators, or during nuclear accidents or nuclear warfare.
