Radiation-Hardened Instrumentation, Sensors and Electronics
- Oak Ridge National Lab. (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
To assist the US Department of Energy in defining a course for Office of Nuclear Energy–funded radiation-hardened (rad-hard) electronics research, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) will focus on three main tasks in FY21. The first task will investigate the survivability of silicon junction-gate field-effect transistors (Si-JFETs) through a 100 Mrad total ionizing dose (TID) experiment and report the test results. The second task will investigate wide bandgap (WBG)-based JFET devices and sources. The third task is an investigation into commercially available systems and components and will be performed to determine whether a standardized list of devices can be identified for reactor instrumentation application. If the devices are feasible, then this list will provide direction to designers and equipment suppliers for selection of components to meet specific reactor requirements.
