Infineon

logo-infineonInfineon Technologies AG is a world leader in semiconductor solutions that make life easier, safer and greener. Microelectronics from Infineon are the key to a better future. Their high-reliability products and solutions are engineered for optimal performance and longevity in extreme environmental conditions, including exposure to severe ionizing radiation in space. Infineon’s power conversion and RF solutions are part of virtually every spacecraft in flight today.

Their unique high-reliability portfolio spans rad hard MOSFETs, HiRel and rad hard power ICs, Schottkys and diodes, and rad hard microwave transistors and diodes. Together with their IR HiRel subsidiary, they offer global customers a wide selection of high-reliability and rad-hard solutions qualified to DLA and ESA standards.

Based on the unique Infineon CoolMOS™ technology the radiation hard PowerMOS transistors are worldwide benchmark for 250 V devices in radiation hardness and electrical performance. The TID hardness is specified up to 100 krad (300 krad on request) and SEE was tested up to LET55 with Xe and LET84 with Au ions.

The wafers are selected from the best controlled volume production and have to pass special additional acceptance tests. All HiRel devices are also available as qualified chip (bare die) from specially approved and reserved wafers. Based on their proven reliability, the components are best suited for use in high-reliability projects, e.g. for space applications.

Infineon HiRel Components are offered in different quality levels:

  • “SAM” are electrically functional samples
  • “P” for professional level used in Engineering Modules (EM)
  • “ES” for ESA space level for ESA satellites Flight Modules (FM)
  • Customized screening

Infineon’s HiRel products are flight-proven under space radiation conditions across thousands of programs worldwide, from space satellite buses to space exploration vehicles and more. Customers count on Infineon for our demonstrated track record of high-reliability products, portfolio longevity, and long-term commitment to space.
