Neutron irradiation.

1 Scope

This part of GB/T 4937 is intended to determine the sensitivity of semiconductor devices to performance degradation in neutron environments. This section applies to the set

Into circuit and semiconductor discrete devices. Neutron irradiation is primarily a military or space-related application and is a destructive test.

The test objectives are as follows.

a) detecting and measuring the relationship between degradation of critical parameters of semiconductor devices and neutron fluence;

b) determining whether the specified semiconductor device parameters are within the specified limits after receiving the specified level of neutron fluence radiation

(See Chapter 4).

2 test equipment

2.1 Test equipment

The test instrument used in the radiation test shall be a standard laboratory electronic test instrument capable of measuring the required electrical parameters, such as power supply, digital power

Pressure gauges and picoammeters, etc.

2.2 Radiation source

The source of radiation used in the test should be a pulsed reactor.

2.3 Dosimetry equipment

a) fast neutron threshold activation foils, such as 32S, 54Fe and 58Ni;

b) thermoluminescence dosimeter (TLD) such as CaF2;

c) Applicable activated foil counting equipment and TLD reading equipment.

2.4 Dosimetry

2.4.1 Neutron fluence

For device radiation, the total amount of radiation induced in simultaneously irradiated fast neutron activation foils such as 32S, 54Fe and 58Ni can be determined.

Neutron fluence.

The standard method for converting the amount of radiation measured in the activated foil to the neutron fluence is given by the relevant standard. Converted from the amount of foil to neutrons

For the fluence, it is necessary to determine the neutron spectrum incident on the foil. If you do not know the neutron spectrum, apply national standards or other equivalent methods to determine.

Once the neutron spectrum has been determined and an equivalent single energy fluence is calculated, the appropriate monitoring foil should be used in subsequent irradiation tests.

The neutron fluence is determined (eg 32S, 54Fe and 58Ni). Thus, the neutron fluence can be used to monitor the single-energy neutron fluence received on the foil.

Characterization. The single energy neutron fluence obtained with the monitoring foil is only effective when the energy spectrum remains unchanged.

2.4.2 Dose measurement

If it is required to check the gamma ray absorbed dose of the device during the test, a thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) or an equivalent method should be used to confirm

set. The use of thermoluminescent dosimeters should meet national standards or other equivalent methods.
