Strategic Objectives
• Master the physics of Non-Ionizing Energy Loss (NIEL) and its impact.
• Identify the formation and evolution of Frenkel pairs and complex defects.
• Predict long-term structural degradation in power and sensing electronics.
• Implement advanced hardening techniques against atomic displacement.
The Core Challenge
Electronic systems in extreme environments face a silent killer: non-ionizing energy loss that physically shatters the atomic precision of semiconductor lattices.
