Analysis in the Context of Space Radiation Hardness Assurance of Low Dose Rate Results Obtained With the MIL and ESCC Test Methods

We present results on the effects of ELDRS at dose rates in the range of the 10-100 mrad(Si)/s corresponding to the low dose rate window of the Test Method ESCC Basic Specification No. 22900 in comparison with 10 mrad(Si)/s as required by the MIL-STD-883J, Test Method 1019.9 on different space qualified bipolar part types. The difference on the results are analyzed in the context of the standard Thales Alenia Space Radiation Hardness Assurance Program as applied to a space telecom project.
