The Effects of Steady State and Pulsed Nuclear Radiation on GaAs Tunnel Diodes
Journal Article
·
· IRE Transactions on Nuclear Science
Studies were made on the utility of gallium arsenide tunnel diodes for equipment which must operate in both reactor and nuclear weapon environments. The results of experiments to determine the effects of radiation produced by steady-state and pulsed nuclear reactor on experimental tunnel diodes are described and compared with the theory governing tunnel diode behavior, lt was concluded that current densities of at least 500 amp/cm3 should be maintained to minimize radiation effects, Results are presented in graph form.
