“…Irreversible changes of electric characteristics of metal-oxide varistors are caused by inelastic interactions with the nuclei of atoms in the material [9]. Since the cross-section for inelastic interaction is much larger for the neutron component than for the corresponding γ component, the observed effect is mostly a result of neutron radiation component [10,11]. • C. Only a change of less than 3% is noticed.…”

Wide-spread use of metal-oxide varistors for non-linearity over-voltage protection results in a variety of possible working conditions. It is therefore essential to have a thorough insight into their reliability in various exploitation environments. The influences of temperature variation, aging and radiation exposure on metal-oxide varistors characteristics were investigated in this paper. Stable and effective over-voltage protection over a wide temperature range is always a desirable property, one which significantly contributes to overall system reliability. Behaviour of metal-oxide varistors in the temperature range from −50• C was investigated. Aging caused by exploitation was investigated by applying 1000 consecutive double exponential over-voltage pulses to the varistors. Resistance of metal-oxide varistors to the radiation is of special interest in nuclear, military, and space technology. Radiation effects of californium-252 combined neutron/gamma radiation were examined. Voltage-current characteristics, voltage-resistance characteristics and the value of breakdown voltage were used to characterize metal-oxide varistors operation. Non-linearity coefficient, defined from the voltage-current curve, was also used as a parameter. Results are presented with the accompanying theoretical interpretations of the observed changes in metal-oxide varistors behaviour.

“…Only the in flu ence of g ra di a tion onto their func tion al ity was tested. The ef fect of atom dis placement was not treated since it was neg li gi ble com pared to the ef fect of the cre ation of free elec trons and electron-hole pairs, in clud ing also sur face traps [17][18][19]. A com bined un cer tainty of mea sure ment was less than 5 % [20][21][22].…”

The aim of this pa per is ap ply ing sta tis ti cal laws and en large ment law to de ter mine a re dundancy level of nanotechnology com put ers with a pre-given sta tis ti cal con fi dence. We have tested ra di a tion hard ness of MOS mem ory com po nents (com mer cial EPROM mem ory) using both Monte Carlo sim u la tion method and ex per i men tal pro ce dure. Then, by us ing the sta tis ti cal en large ment law, we have per formed the anal y sis of re dun dancy op ti mi za tion of MOS struc ture for nanotechnology com put ers, un der the in flu ence of back ground ra di a tion, and ob tained more than sat is fy ing re sults.
