Total ionizing dose

CO⁶⁰

The cumulated dose can induce a degradation of electrical and functionnal parameters up to the destruction of the electronic component.

TRAD is designing test benches allowing the drifts measurement after each irradiation step for different dose rates and according to the evaluated technology.

Irradiation procedures comply with MIL STD, ESA/SCC, ASTM or other specifications according to your needs in terms of the CO⁶⁰ dose rates, irradiation steps and parametric measurements. Parameter drifts are measured and registered thanks to our test benches.

TRAD test benches:

 M3000 Universal and Mixed-technology tester
 Logic Analyzer bench (HP16500B)
 High Frequency Characterization bench

LEISA, our data processing tool, and our report generation software allow TRAD to communicate tests results very quickly.

Post Irradiation analysis:

 Dose hardness evaluation
 Design Dose estimate
 TID test Data Base

TRAD owns an ARACOR system designed for X-Ray testing. The test consists in measuring electronic parameter drifts at high dose rates for manufacturers Hardness Assurance :

• Temperature and humidity controlled clean room
• X-rays dose rate: 7 rad(SiO2)/s to 2 krad(SiO2)/s
• Tests on wafers or decapsuled chips
• Irradiation of designed kerfs or areas
• Minimum beam focus: 4mm x 200µm
• On line dosimetry and measurements
• Precision low current prober cards

The ARACOR test system is the fastest solution for manufacturers technology hardness evaluation and can be part of their product development.
