Radiation Hardened Electronics Market

Radiation Hardened Electronics Market Technological
breakthroughs By 2024
An act of producing the electronic systems or components resistant to malfunction or damage
done by ionizing radiation (electromagnetic radiation and particle radiation of high energy) is
called as Radiation Hardened Electronics Market. These radiations are encountered in highaltitude
flight and outer space, around particle accelerators and nuclear reactors, or during
nuclear wars and nuclear accidents. Most of the electronic components are prone to damage by
these radiations. However radiation hardened electronic components are placed on the nonhardened
components with some manufacturing and design variations reducing the vulnerability
to radiation damage. Extensive testing and development is required in producing a
microelectronic chip which is radiation tolerant, radiation hardened electronic chips lag behind in
new developments. TID (Total Ionizing Dose), EDLRS (Enhanced Low Dose Rate Effects),
single event effects (SEE, SEB, SET, & SEL), and proton & neutron displacement charge are
some of the tests used typically for radiation-hardened products testing. Cosmic rays, solar
particle events, Van Allen radiation belts, secondary particles, particle accelerators, chip
packaging materials are some of the major radiation damage sources. There are two types of
radiation hardening techniques logical hardening and physical hardening. Techniques included
under physical hardening are production of electronic components by insulating substrates like
silicon on sapphire and silicon on insulator. Bipolar ICs (Integrated Circuits), magneto resistive
RAM (Radom Access Memory), capacitor based dynamic RAM (Random Access Memory) and
shielding packages are radiation hardened. Logical radiation hardening techniques are redundant
elements, hardened latches, parity checking, and watchdog timer for reducing radiation impact
on electronic components.
The major factor driving the radiation hardened electronics market is rising demand for power
management devices. Another factor augmenting the market for radiation hardened electronics is
rising demand for diodes, transistors, and MOSFETs in various defense and space applications.
More technological advancements is leading to focus on integration of radiation hardened
electronics chip into various devices. Another major driver for the market is the increase in the
number of the space missions.

One of the driver for the radiation hardened electronics market is rise in demand for
communication satellites. Growing ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance)
operations, multicore processor technology and FPGA advancements will drive the radiation
hardening electronics market in future. However the major challenge for the market is high cost
involved in developing and testing the radiation hardened electronic devices. But rise in
investments in R&D (research and development) of semiconductors and electronics will
minimize the impact of this challenge. Another challenge being faced by the radiation hardened

electronics market are the emerging of small satellites (SmallSats) with small life cycle. This
small satellites market is called Space 2.0.
The radiation hardened electronics component market can be segmented based on components
(power management, ASIC, logic, memory, FPGA), manufacturing technique (RHBD radiation
hardening by design, RHBP Radiation hardening by process), application (space, aerospace &
defense, nuclear power plant), geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, rest of the
world).
North America is the largest market for radiation hardened electronics market. Europe is the
second largest market for radiation hardened electronics followed by APAC. In North America,
U.S. accounts for the largest share in radiation hardened electronics . Canada and Mexico follow
the numbers in U.S. for radiation hardened electronics . The rising demand of the radiation
hardened electronics in North America region could be due to presence of rad-hard component
manufacturers in large numbers. Also presence of some famous defense and space research
institutes is the major reason for growing radiation hardened electronics market.
Space application is leading the radiation hardened electronics . Space application is further
segmented into commercial & military application.
Key players in the market include Honeywell Aerospace (U.S.), Xilinx, Inc. (U.S.), Atmel
Corporation (U.S.), and BAE Systems (U.K.). Other Players include STMicroelectronics,
Microsem, Texas Instruments, and IRC.
