Radiation shielded carriers for sensitive electronics

摘要

A radiation shielding system for protecting an integrated circuit package from ionizing radiation is provided for an integrated circuit package which is substantially planar and has a plurality of package leads extending from at least one surface of the package, substantially perpendicular to a surface of the integrated circuit package. The system comprises a base portion comprising shielding material and defining a well for receiving the integrated circuit package. A lid of shielding material is provided for being attached to the base portion to completely encompass the integrated circuit package. The system also includes means for allowing portions of each of the package leads to exit the well when the integrated circuit package is within the well. The means includes insulating material.
