JEDEC JESD89 Die Radiation Hardness Testing
JEDec’s JESD89 standard defines a method to assess the radiation hardness of semiconductor dies. This critical testing is essential for ensuring that microchips can withstand high levels of ionizing radiation, which is crucial in applications such as space technology, nuclear power plants, and military electronics.
The primary focus of this service is on the die-level electrical and functional testing under JESD89 conditions. The test involves subjecting a semiconductor die to controlled amounts of gamma or X-ray radiation and then evaluating its performance post-exposure. This process helps in identifying any degradation in electrical parameters, functionality, or reliability that could otherwise go unnoticed until the device is deployed.
The testing procedure follows stringent guidelines outlined in JESD89, which ensures a standardized approach to assessing radiation hardness. The test setup includes precise calibration of radiation sources and sophisticated measurement equipment capable of detecting even minor changes in die performance. This ensures accurate and reproducible results that are crucial for quality assurance and regulatory compliance.
The importance of this testing cannot be overstated. In environments where high levels of ionizing radiation are present, the reliability and longevity of microchips can significantly impact system performance and safety. Ensuring that these components meet JESD89 standards not only enhances product robustness but also supports broader technological advancements in critical industries.

Scope and Methodology
The scope of JEDEC JESD89 Die Radiation Hardness Testing encompasses a wide range of parameters that need to be considered during the evaluation process. This includes not just the physical exposure of the die to radiation but also subsequent electrical and functional assessments.
The methodology involves several key steps, starting with preparing the specimen for testing according to specified guidelines provided in JESD89. Once prepared, the die is subjected to controlled levels of gamma or X-ray radiation, ensuring that it receives precisely the amount required based on its intended application. After exposure, comprehensive electrical and functional tests are conducted using advanced instrumentation.
These tests measure various parameters such as leakage currents, threshold voltages, and output impedances, among others. Any deviations from expected values indicate potential issues related to radiation damage. Additionally, more complex tests may involve monitoring the die’s behavior under actual operational conditions simulating real-world scenarios.
The results of these tests are meticulously recorded and analyzed using sophisticated software tools designed specifically for this purpose. Compliance with JESD89 specifications is critical throughout each stage of testing; any non-compliance would necessitate retesting or further investigation into the cause. This rigorous approach ensures that only products meeting stringent quality standards pass through our facility.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to these procedures, leveraging cutting-edge technology and experienced personnel to deliver reliable results every time. By following this standardized methodology closely, we ensure consistent performance across all tests conducted under JESD89 conditions.
