Title: Radiation tolerant microstructured three dimensional semiconductor structure

Abstract

According to one embodiment, a product includes an array of three dimensional structures, a cavity region between each of the three dimensional structures, and a first material in contact with at least one surface of each of the three dimensional structures. In addition, each of the three dimensional structures includes a semiconductor material, where at least one dimension of each of the three dimensional structures is in a range of about 0.5 microns to about 10 microns. Moreover, the first material is configured to provide high energy particle and/or ray emissions.
