Description
Total Ionizing Dose (TID) effects pose critical challenges to the performance and longevity of electronic components in space environments. In this presentation, Christoph Tscherne, head of business unit Aerospace Radiation Competence Center from Seibersdorf Laboratories, will provide an overview of Total Ionizing Dose testing, covering the underlying physical mechanisms, practical implementation of TID test campaigns, and key considerations for effective evaluation. Drawing on real-world examples and best practices from environmental testing laboratories, the talk will highlight common pitfalls, strategies for reliable measurements, and insights to improve test planning and interpretation. The talk aims to equip engineers and researchers working in small satellite development with actionable guidance to enhance radiation tolerance assessments in their projects.
