This work investigated the fundamental mechanisms associated with transient radiation events in silicon-germanium (SiGe) technology operating in space environments, and leveraged this understanding to suggest new strategies for the development of radiation-hardened systems using such SiGe technologies.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA full-length journal paper based upon the conference presentation has already been accepted for publication in the \u003Cem\u003EIEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, \u003C\/em\u003Eand will appear in December\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Cem\u003E.\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E This work was supported by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, the Naval Research Laboratory, and IHP Microelectronics.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Ph.D. student Nelson Lourenco was awarded the 2014 IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC) Best Student Paper Award.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Ph.D. student Nelson Lourenco was awarded the 2014 IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC) Best Student Paper Award."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2014-10-30 09:38:04","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:17:23","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2014-11-10T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2014-11-10T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"343381":{"id":"343381","type":"image","title":"Nelson Lourenco","body":null,"created":"1449245639","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 16:13:59","changed":"1475895062","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:51:02","alt":"Nelson Lourenco","file":{"fid":"200831","name":"lourenco_2mb.png","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/lourenco_2mb_0.png","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/lourenco_2mb_0.png","mime":"image\/png","size":1764163,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/lourenco_2mb_0.png?itok=8NZgk1xv"}}},"media_ids":["343381"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/users.ece.gatech.edu\/~cressler\/research\/research.html","title":"SiGe Research Program"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"136","name":"Aerospace"},{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"8862","name":"Student Research"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"147","name":"Military Technology"},{"id":"149","name":"Nanotechnology and Nanoscience"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"},{"id":"150","name":"Physics and Physical Sciences"}],"keywords":[{"id":"107881","name":"2014 IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"7763","name":"John Cressler"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"id":"169631","name":"silicon germanium"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39451","name":"Electronics and Nanotechnology"},{"id":"39481","name":"National Security"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ejackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
