Next-generation AI semiconductor device verified to withstand space radiation
South Korea\'s Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute said on Wednesday a joint team has, for the first time, verified next-generation AI semiconductor technology that operates stably in a space-radiation environment. The team made an indium-gallium-zinc oxide-based synaptic transistor and tested it with a high-energy proton beam equivalent to more than 20 years of exposure in low Earth orbit. It retained switching and synaptic plasticity despite some performance degradation.
