ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS ON ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS

Credits: 6

Learning objectives
The course aims at providing basic knowledge about degradation of electronic materials and components in the space environment. The course illustrates the mechanisms for radiation damage and their effects on the most common types of electronic components: solar cells, diodes, transistors. Some approaches for increasing reliability are then described. The SPENVIS software and its use for predicting degradation of components is introduced.
