Radiation Characteristics
Radiation Performance of Rad Hard HEXFETs
International Rectifier Radiation Hardened HEXFETs
are tested to verify their hardness capability. The hard-
ness assurance program at International Rectifier
comprises 3 radiation environments.
Every manufacturing lot is tested in a low dose rate
(total dose) environment per MlL-STD-750, test
method 1019 condition A. International Rectifier has
imposed a standard gate condition of 12 volts per note
5 and a VDS bias condition equal to 80% of the de-
vice rated voltage per note 6. Pre and Post-irradia-
tion limits of the devices irradiated to 0.5 x 105 Rads
(Si) and 1 x 105 Rads (Si) are identical and pre-
sented in Table 1, column 1, IRHM2C50SE and col-
umn 2, IRHM7C50SE. The values in Table 1 will be
met for either of the two low dose rate test circuits
that are used. Both pre- and post-irradiation perfor-
mance are tested and specified using the same drive
circuitry and test conditions in order to provide a di-
rect comparison. It should be noted that at a radiation
level of 1 x 105 Rads (Si) the only parameter limit
change is VGSTh minimum .
High dose rate testing may be done on a special
request basis using a dose rate up to 1 x 1012 Rads
(Si)/Sec ( See Table 2).
International Rectifier radiation hardened HEXFETs
have been characterized in heavy ion Single Event
Effects (SEE) environments. Single Event Effects
characterization is shown in Table 3.
