A SURVEY OF RADIATION HARDENING BY DESIGN (RHBD) TECHNIQUES FOR ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS FOR SPACE APPLICATION

Considering the extensive usage of electronic systems in Spacecraft and harsh radiation environment in the Space, radiation effects on electronic systems and development of radiation hardening electronic systems have been a topic of research. Researchers are trying to solve this problem at various abstraction levels, starting from fabrication technology to packaging and at system level. This paper covers an exhaustive survey on Radiation Hardening by Design. This survey has covered the research work from nearly 80’s to current state of art.
