Under the effects of radiation, electronic components that aren’t hardened will:
- Creep
- Harden
- And become brittle leading to failure
Radiation hardening is the act of making electronic components and systems resistant to damage or malfunctions caused by ionizing radiation (particle radiation and high-energy electromagnetic radiation), such as those encountered in outer space and high-altitude flight, and around nuclear reactors and particle accelerators.
