The Increase of the Lifetime of the Onboard Electronics of Spacecrafts By High-temperature Annealing of Radiation Defects

Abstract

The technique for increasing the maximum lifetime of the electronic equipment for space applications was developed. The technique is based on controlled temperature annealing of radiation defects accumulated in integrated microcircuits under the impact of ionizing radiations of space environment.
