Devices containing electrical, electronic, electromechanical or electro-optic components with reduced sensitivity at low dose rates

摘要

A device for a space application, the device including at least one electronic, electromechanical or electro-optical component encapsulated in a package, the package comprising a hydrogen getter guaranteeing resistance to ionizing radiation and in particular at a low dose rate, responsible for ELDRS behavior. In one embodiment, the package may include a cap that hermetically seals a package base. Advantageously, a process may be implemented in order to promote the migration of hydrogen molecules or H+ protons toward the getter and trap said molecules or protons in the getter for the useful lifetime of the component.
