Oncogenic transformation through the cell cycle and the LET dependent inverse dose rate effect

Synchronised populations of mouse C3H/10T-1/2 cells were obtained by a stringent mitotic dislodgment procedure. Mitotic cells rapidly attach and progress sequentially through the cell cycle. Irradiation (3 Gy of X rays) was carried out at intervals from 0 to 18 h after initiating cell cycle progression of the mitotic cells. Oncogenic transformation was enhanced 10-fold over cells irradiated soon after replating (G1 and S phases) for cells in a near 2 h period corresponding to cells in G2 phase but not in mitosis. The cell surviving fraction had a 2-1/2-fold variation with resistant peaks corresponding to the late G1 and late S phases. These findings provide experimental support for the hypothesis initiated by Rossi and Kellerer and developed by Brenner and Hall to explain the LET dependent inverse dose rate effect for oncogenic transformation.

Total Ionizing Dose Effects on Voltage-to-Frequency Converters

This paper discusses total dose effects on voltage-to-frequency converters which impose different requirements on internal circuitry, and are also very high-precision devices (for example, linearity is typically specified between 0.002 and 0.05%).

Total Dose Effects on Bipolar Integrated Circuits at Low Temperature

Total dose damage in bipolar integrated circuits is investigated at low temperature, along with the temperature dependence of the electrical parameters of internal transistors. Bandgap narrowing causes the gain of npn transistors to decrease far more at low temperature compared to pnp transistors, due to the large difference in emitter doping concentration. When irradiations are done at temperatures of -140 deg C, no damage occurs until devices are warmed to temperatures above -50 deg C. After warm-up, subsequent cooling shows that damage is then present at low temperature. This can be explained by the very strong temperature dependence of dispersive transport in the continuous-time-random-walk model for hole transport. For linear integrated circuits, low temperature operation is affected by the strong temperature dependence of npn transistors along with the higher sensitivity of lateral and substrate pnp transistors to radiation damage.

Room Temperature Total-Ionizing Dose Testing of Glenn Research Center (GRC) 500 °C Durable 4H-SiC JFET IC Technology

The purpose of this testing was to obtain total ionizing dose (TID) information about custom-built research prototype silicon carbide (SiC) junction field effect transistor (JFET) integrated circuits (ICs) capable of prolonged operation in extremely high-temperature (500 degrees Centigrade) environments. The circuits included ring oscillators and operational amplifiers as well as individual n-channel JFETs. This technology is being considered for use in high temperature, high pressure applications such as Long-Lives Surface System Explorer (LLISSE). These devices were developed at NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC). Testing occurred from July 9th-July 13th, 2018.
