This paper reports on 2N222A transistors exposed in various neutron fields ranging in energy from thermal to 14 MeV. New spectrum characterization data are reported for three fast reactors used in hardness testing. The neutron energy dependence of transistor damage response was measured and compared with predictions based on ASTM Standards and recent compilations of the silicon kerma factors calculated using NJOY.
