Introduction to Single-Event Effects
摘要
Radiation effects in state-of-the-art electronics has become a critical concern that goes beyond the traditional systems operating in harsh environments such as in aviation and space missions. Therefore, there is an increased interest in studying these effects as well as in investigating on how to design reliable and fault-tolerant systems that are hardened against radiation. In this chapter, the main stochastic events, known as single-event effects, are presented. Furthermore, the fundamental concepts necessary to understand the problem of radiation effects in electronics are introduced.
