4 Irradiation Facility and Setup

The heavy-ion species used for the SEE studies on this product were provided and delivered by:

  • Texas A&M University (TAMU) Cyclotron Radiation Effects Facility using a K500 superconducting cyclotron and an advanced electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source. At the fluxes used, ion beams had good flux stability and high irradiation uniformity over a 1-in diameter circular cross-sectional area for the in-air station. Uniformity is achieved by magnetic defocusing. The flux of the beam is regulated over a broad range spanning several orders of magnitude. For these studies, ion flux of 1 × 105 ions/cm2 ·s was used to provide heavy-ion fluences of 1 × 106 – 1 × 107 ions/cm2. The TAMU facility uses a beam port that has a 1-mil Aramica window to allow in-air testing while maintaining the vacuum within the particle accelerator. The in-air gap between the device and the ion beam port window was maintained at 40mm for all runs.

For the experiments conducted on this report, there was 1 ion used, 109Ag. 109Ag at an angle of 15 degrees was used to obtain LETEFF of 51MeV×cm2/mg. The total kinetic energies for each of the ions were:

109Ag = 1.634GeV (15MeV/nucleon)

    • Ion uniformity for these experiments was between 93% and 96%
