The engineering staff of ISDE performs design, analysis and modeling work for a varietyof space- and defense-oriented organizations. ISDE engineers help to identify radiation-related issues at the device and circuit levels, propose design solutions, and implement test plans. ISDE has an array of software tools for simulating radiation effects and designing integrated circuits, a high performance parallel computing cluster, several types of radiation sources, and extensive electrical characterization capability.

A current sampling of Programs include:

• ˜Design and test of radiation-tolerant integrated circuits and semi conductor devices
• ˜Development and application of simulation tools for analyzing the effects of radiation on integrated circuits and semiconductor devices
• ˜Test methods and plans for predicting the survival of electronics in radiation environments
• ˜ Basic physical mechanisms of radiation damage in semiconductor devices and materials
