Title
Standard Guide for Determining Neutron Energy Spectra from Neutron Sensors for Radiation-Hardness Testing of Electronics
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Feb 1, 2007
Scope:
This guide covers procedures for determining the
energy-differential fluence spectra of neutrons used in
radiation-hardness testing of electronic semiconductor devices. The
types of neutron sources specifically covered by this guide are
fission or degraded energy fission sources used in either a
steady-state or pulse mode.
This guide provides guidance and criteria that can be applied
during the process of choosing the spectrum adjustment methodology
that is best suited to the available data and relevant for the
environment being investigated.
This guide is to be used in conjunction with Guide E 720 to
characterize neutron spectra and is used in conjunction with
Practice E 722 to characterize damage-related parameters normally
associated with radiation-hardness testing of
electronicsemiconductor devices.
NOTE 1—Although Guide E 720 only discusses activation foil
sensors, any energy-dependent neutron-responding sensor for which a
response function is known may be used (1).2
NOTE 2—For terminology used in this guide, see Terminology E
170.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the
standard.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
