Radiation hardening refers to the process of making electronic systems, components, or materials resistant to the effects of ionizing radiation. This is crucial for applications in environments where radiation levels are high, such as space missions, nuclear facilities, or certain medical applications. Radiation can cause a variety of adverse effects on electronic devices, including: 1. **Single Event Upsets (SEUs)**: Transient errors caused by charged particles disrupting the normal operation of a transistor or memory cell.
