Radiation-induced ionization effects in solids—A review of research problems

A brief survey of ionization effects in devices is given, with a special attention to important research problems. This paper is intended not only to indicate the interrelationships between papers presented at the IEEE Annual Conferences on Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects from 1966 to 1973, but also to indicate the gaps left and the future possibilities for work. The environments causing problems are listed, the materials and devices involved are tabulated as a matrix, and the key problems of the present and future are singled out for special attention.
