Abstract

Integrated circuit (IC) devices play unique role in the field of aerospace technology applications. This chapter introduces the space radiation environment and radiation effect sensitivity of common orbits of current spacecrafts. The radiation effects of space radiation on microelectronics devices are discussed and radiation hardening technology and radiation test evaluation technology for integrated circuits are described. The conventional simulation methods of Integrated Circuit radiation effects are also addressed.
