Custom Products - Radiation Engineering and Design
In conjunction with our partners Semicoa Corporation and our consultants Radiation Experiments and Monitors, Oxford (REM) we are pleased to offer a full range of silcon engineering and design consultation services.
With particular focus on the effects of radiation on electronic components, we can advise our customers on the design of their systems to ensure that they meet specified radiation tolerance within the mission profile. If necessary, we are able to design and offer enhanced products that meet the desired radiation performance.
Where the standard DSCC Qualified Parts Listing (QPL MIL-PRF-19500) does not meet the mission profile, this consulting service would lead to the generation of a Source Control Drawing (SCD) defining customer requirements. This may be a direct derivative of the MIL-PRF-19500 device but would have enhancements such as increased radiation tolerance and/or unique packaging, screening and shielding that is not offered on the QPL.
These services include
- Traceability to wafer and/or diffusion run
- SEM wafer acceptance
- Radiation wafer acceptance
- Customer source inspection at specific operations
- Selected electrical performance characteristics
- Special screening and burn-in
- X-ray and PIND testing
- Custom packaging, plating and shielding
- Baselines and milestones
- Special quality acceptance criteria
- Special documentation
