Zeroing in on vital aspects of this broad and complex topic, \u003cstrong\u003eRadiation Effects in Semiconductors\u003c\/strong\u003e addresses the ever-growing need for a clear understanding of radiation effects on semiconductor devices and circuits to combat potential damage it can cause. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures a chapter authored by renowned radiation authority Lawrence T. Clark on \u003cem\u003eRadiation Hardened by Design SRAM Strategies for TID and SEE Mitigation\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book analyzes the radiation problem, focusing on the most important aspects required for comprehending the degrading effects observed in semiconductor devices, circuits, and systems when they are irradiated. It explores how radiation interacts with solid materials, providing a detailed analysis of three ways this occurs: \u003cem\u003ePhotoelectric effect, Compton effect\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003ecreation of electron-positron pairs\u003c\/em\u003e. The author explains that the probability of these three effects occurring depends on the energy of the incident photon and the atomic number of the target. The book also discusses the effects that photons can have on matter--in terms of ionization effects and nuclear displacement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten for post-graduate researchers, semiconductor engineers, and nuclear and space engineers with some electronics background, this carefully constructed reference explains how ionizing radiation is creating damage in semiconducting devices and circuits and systems--and how that damage can be avoided in areas such as military\/space missions, nuclear applications, plasma damage, and X-ray-based techniques. It features top-notch international experts in industry and academia who address emerging detector technologies, circuit design techniques, new materials, and innovative system approaches. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Krzysztof Iniewski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439826943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439826942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2010 pg. 165","brand":"Krzysztof Iniewski","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48113551114495,"sku":"9781439826942","price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1bfaec4d-a23a-432a-b783-ddc677eb9edd.jpg?v=1769615762","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/radiation-effects-in-semiconductors-krzysztof-iniewski-9781439826942","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
