Learn More →The radiation hardness of passive electronic components is not currently a well-studied subject, and, in general, they are either considered non-sensitive to ionizing environments or not used in radiation-hardened applications. This lack of knowledge slows the adoption of relatively new technologies in space, nuclear, military, and other applications with ionizing radiation environments, including polymer tantalum capacitors, which offer high energy density, low series resistance, and stable electrical parameters. To further investigate passive electronic components for these applications, it is important to focus not only on the ionizing radiation dose but also on the type of radiation. The effects of directly ionizing and indirectly ionizing radiation can differ, and each group has further classifications. Directly ionizing radiation consists of charged particles,
