| The
2007 IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference will be
held July 23-27, 2007 in Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, Hawaii at the
Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort. The conference features a Technical
Program consisting of eight to ten sessions of contributed papers
(both oral and poster) that describe the latest observations and
research results in radiation effects, an up-to-date Short Course
offered on July 23, a Radiation Effects Data Workshop, and an Industrial
Exhibit.
The conference hotel is located on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu on
the southern side of the Hawaiian island of Oahu. A complete technical
and social program is being planned to maximize opportunities for
information exchange and networking in the area of radiation effects
on microelectronic and photonic devices, circuits, and systems.
Supporters of the conference include the Defense Threat Reduction
Agency, Sandia National Laboratories, Air Force Research Laboratory,
the NASA Electronic Parts and Packaging Program, NASA Living With
a Star Program, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
TECHNICAL PROGRAM
Papers to be presented at this meeting will describe the effects
of space, terrestrial or nuclear radiation on electronic or photonic
devices, circuits, sensors, materials and systems, as well as semiconductor
processing technology and techniques for producing radiation-tolerant
devices and integrated circuits. The conference will be attended
by engineers, scientists and managers who are concerned with radiation
effects. International participation in the conference is strongly
encouraged.
The conference committee is soliciting papers describing significant
new findings in the following or related areas:
Basic Mechanisms of Radiation Effects in Electronic Materials
and Devices
• Ionizing Radiation Effects
• Materials and Device Effects
• Displacement Damage
• Single-Event Charge Collection Phenomena and Mechanisms
• Radiation Transport, Energy Deposition and Dosimetry
• Processing-Induced Radiation Effects
Radiation Effects on Electronic and Photonic Devices and
Circuits
• MOS, Bipolar, and Advanced Technologies
• Isolation Technologies, such as SOI and SOS
• Optoelectronic and Optical Devices and Systems
• Methods for Hardened Design and Manufacturing
• Modeling of Devices, Circuits and Systems
• Particle Detectors and Associated Electronics for High-Energy
Accelerators
• Cryogenic or High Temperature Effects
• Single-Event Effects
• Novel Device Structures, such as MEMs and Nanotechnologies
Space, Atmospheric and Terrestrial Radiation Effects
• Characterization and Modeling of Radiation Environments
• Space Weather Events and Effects
• Spacecraft Charging
• Soft Error Rates (SER)
Hardness Assurance Technology and Radiation Testing
• Testing Techniques, Guidelines and Hardness Assurance Methodology
• Radiation Exposure Facilities
• Dosimetry
Commercial Space Systems
New Developments of Interest to the Radiation Effects Community
RADIATION EFFECTS DATA WORKSHOP
The Radiation Effects Data Workshop is a forum for papers on radiation
effects data on electronic devices and systems. Workshop papers
are intended to provide radiation response data to scientists and
engineers who use electronic devices in a radiation environment,
and for designers of radiation-hardened or radiation-tolerant systems.
Papers describing new simulation facilities are also welcomed.
PAPER SUBMITTAL
Information on the submission of summaries to the 2007 NSREC for
either the Technical Sessions or the Data Workshop can be found
at www.nsrec.com. The deadline for submitting summaries is February
2, 2007.
SHORT COURSE
Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a one-day
Short Course on Monday, July 23. The theme for the 2007 short course
is: “Hardened Electronics for Tomorrow’s Strategic and
Space-Based Systems” and is being organized by Prof. Hugh
Barnaby of Arizona State University. Planned topics include:
• Process Technologies and Hardening
• Radiation Effects and Mitigation Strategies in Digital ICs
• Radiation Effects and Mitigation Strategies in Analog/Mixed
Signal
• Hardening at the System Level.
The course will be of interest both to radiation effects specialists
and newcomers to the field alike.
INDUSTRIAL EXHIBIT
An Industrial Exhibit will be included as an integral part of the
conference. The exhibit will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday. It
will include exhibits from 35-40 exhibitors that represent companies
or agencies involved in manufacturing electronic devices or systems
for applications in space or nuclear environments, modeling and
analysis of radiation effects at the device and system level, and
radiation testing.
