The SIRAD irradiation facility is located at the Tandem-ALPI accelerating system of the INFN National Laboratories of Legnaro, Italy. SIRAD is devoted to Single Event Effects and bulk damage studies on semiconductor detectors and electronic devices and systems. Here we describe the status of SIRAD by reporting the characteristics of the ion beams, of the irradiation chamber and of the monitoring and dosimetry systems for particle fluence measurements. The Ion Electron Emission Microscope which allows micrometric SEE sensitivity mapping is also briefly described. Single Event Upset (SEU) cross-section measurements of the ESA SEU monitor, presented here, show full compatibility with those obtained at irradiation facilities supported by ESA.

Abstract
The SIRAD irradiation facility is located at the Tandem-ALPI accelerating system of the INFN National Laboratories of Legnaro, Italy. SIRAD is devoted to Single Event Effects and bulk damage studies on semiconductor detectors and electronic devices and systems. Here we describe the status of SIRAD by reporting the characteristics of the ion beams, of the irradiation chamber and of the monitoring and dosimetry systems for particle fluence measurements. The Ion Electron Emission Microscope which allows micrometric SEE sensitivity mapping is also briefly described. Single Event Upset (SEU) cross-section measurements of the ESA SEU monitor, presented here, show full compatibility with those obtained at irradiation facilities supported by ESA.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
