WP9 Radiation tests on the nanoFIP chip
Description
The work package 9 includes the
- radiation resistance test of the nanoFIP chip in stand-alone and
memory mode.
Three radiation test campaigns have been planed using the NFTC board with a focused beam:- Preliminary radiation tests for the validation of the testing setup and for a first understanding of the failure modes of the nanoFIP, FielDrive and FieldTR chips.
- Large scale tests of 10 nanoFIP chips for the estimation of nanoFIP's cross section
- Extra tests of the nanoFIP, FielDrive and FieldTR simultaneously; Study of the effects of high temperature while irradiating
Note that the NFTC board is not designed to be radiation tolerant; therefore only a focused beam can be used to irradiate the nanoFIP chip and/or the FielDrive and FieldTR components.
The deliverable is
- report on radiation tests
The estimated duration is
- four manweeks
