Frying chips on IMBL
As part of the newly founded Australian National Space Qualification Network (NSQN). ANSTO is building several capabilities to test and qualify electronic systems destined to fly on space craft.
The radiation environment in space is highly varied in species and energy, all potentially damaging to electronics. By using IMBL on the Australian Synchrotron along with ANTARES and GATRI at the Lucas Heights campus, we are providing x-ray, proton, and gamma ray radiation test facilities designed to qualify circuits and chips for flight.
Although x-ray tests are unusual in this field. The ability to perform radiography, and the penetrating nature of these photons do have some advantages. We are pursuing these using IMBL and are happy to report that we have been successful in causing several CMOS chips to stop working with precisely known doses of radiation!
