Would anyone be interested in discussing the effects of radiation
(choose your environment: Nuclear Weapon, Space etc....) on
semiconductors and radiation hardened techniques for designers
(engineers using software, such as VLSI design)?

For example would you have any information concerning the idea of
Linear Energy Transfer (MeV/gm-cm) to characterize energy loss by
cosmic rays?  How is this concept used to give valuable information
concerning the degradation of the semiconductor.
