Detection of alpha particle contamination on ultra low activity-grade integrated circuits

We propose to apply the superheated droplet detector (SDD) technology to the measurement of alpha-particle emissivity on integrated circuits of ultra-low activity grade (< 1α/khcm2) for high reliability applications. This work is based on the SDDs employed within our team to the direct search for...
