  • Abstract
    Proton irradiations were performed on three types of optocouplers at three energies 60 MeV, 100 MeV and 200 MeV, followed by a TID irradiation up to 75 kRAD. GEANT4 allowed the calculation of the fluences needed to induce the same NIEL. As a preliminary result, diode´s degradations can be predicted and only depend on the initial minority carrier lifetime τrr0 and not the technology.
