Description
In WP1, an extensive review of radiation test facilities involved in the consortium was carried out. The homogeneous description and comparison of the relevant test parameters (i.e. particle flux, energy spectra, beam size, etc.) in different European test facilities provides a valuable information for the European industry to select test facilities and prepare radiation test campaigns focused on their specific operational requirements. WP1 also has addressed some non-standard test approaches, like those utilizing high-energy electrons and ultra-high energy heavy ions. Both experimental and theoretical studies have been performed to obtain insights on energy deposition from primary ionization events in small volumes, and to improve the soft error rate estimation methods, especially for modern technologies. For these purposes, a dedicated SRAM-based test vehicle was designed and its radiation sensitivity was fully characterized using a wide range of beams. This SRAM monitor can be utilized in particle dosimetry and cross-calibration of different test facilities.
