The purpose of this test was to characterize the Philips/NXP BFR92A NPN 5 gigahertz wide band silicon transistor for total dose response. This test shall serves as the radiation lot acceptance test (RLAT) for the lot date code (LDC) 1027. The BFR92A is packaged in a 3-pin plastic SOT23 package. Low dose rate (LDR/ELDRS) irradiations was performed.
This paper presents two-photon absorption test results on an engineering single-event burnout- (SEB-) sensitive power MOSFET to verify that the energy deposition/charge ionization in the highly-doped substrate does not contribute to SEB. It is shown that for a vertical power MOSFET, the SEB sensitive volume is the lightly doped epitaxial layer; the most sensitive region is under the polysllicon gate.
We present the results of single event effects (SEE) testing and analysis investigating the effects of radiation on electronics. This paper is a summary of test results.

A 1 GeV/u 5 6Fe ion beam allows for true 90deg tilt irradiations of various microelectronic c-0mponents and reveals relevant upset trends at the GCR Hux energy peak. Three SRAMs and an SRAM-based FPGA evaluated at the NASA Space Radiation Effects Laboratory demonstrate that a 90deg tilt irradiation yields a unique device response. These tilt angle effects need t-0 be screened for, and if found, pursued with radiation transport simulations to quantify their impact on event rate calculations.
A 1 GeV/u Fe-56 ion beam allows for true 90deg tilt irradiations of various microelectronic components and reveals relevant upset trends for an abundant element at the GCR flux energy peak.
Susceptibility of a variety of candidate spacecraft electronics to proton and heavy ion induced single event effects is studied. Devices tested include digital, linear bipolar, and hybrid devices.
