Abstract
Factors controlling the evaluation of radiation vulnerability of transistors, diodes, and solar cells are reviewed. Typical results from computer analysis of transistor current gain degradation are presented, emphasizing dependence of degradation on dc operating point. Particle equivalence for permanent radiation damage in semiconductor devices is summarized. Extention of operational lifetime of space system electronics is also discussed.
