Study of natural space radiation effects in semiconductor devices for selection of electronic parts

Studies at Soreq NRC related to space radiation effects on semiconductor devices (that may lead to the failure of electronic systems) are discussed. The infrastructure of Soreq used for these studies, including: (i) a database of radiation effects in electronic devices and (ii) test facilities, is described. Examples of tests manifesting the importance of acquiring data on devices of the specific lot to be used are given.
