Radiation Hardening Method Enables Wi-Fi Chips for Nuclear Decommissioning

Caption

The radiation hardening method involves simplifying transistor layouts, replacing radiation-sensitive components with passive inductors, and enlarging transistor dimensions. This approach reduces charge buildup from gamma radiation, allowing the chip to operate in extreme radiation environments.
