Reliability needs for electronics is steadily increasing and radiation is one important source for failures in electronic systems, both in space and in terrestrial environments. The workshop will address this issue and present methods to test electronics for radiation hardness and also highlight the introduction of wide bandgap semiconductors, which are inherently more radiation hard than prevailing silicon.
