DEVICE INCLUDING ELECTRICAL, ELECTRONIC, ELECTROMECHANICAL OR ELECTRO-OPTICAL COMPONENTS HAVING REDUCED SENSITIVITY AT A LOW DOSE RATE

摘要

The invention relates to a device to be used in space, including at least one electronic, electromechanical or electro-optical component (10) encased inside an housing (300), characterized in that the housing further includes a getter (40) ensuring immunity to ionizing radiation and in particular at a low dose rate responsible for ELDRS behavior. In one embodiment, the housing (300) can include a lid (200), which hermetically seals a housing bottom (210). The lid (200) can advantageously include a hydrogen getter material. A method can advantageously be implemented for promoting the migration of the hydrogen molecules or H+ protons towards the getter (40) and for keeping same trapped in the getter (40) over the entire service life of the component (10).
