Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of commercial space technology, and particularly to a method for establishing an irradiation database of commercial space COTS components. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of commercial space, space-grade COTS components with high costs and long supply cycles cannot meet the requirements of large quantities and low costs in commercial space. Instead, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components with large production batches and low procurement costs have become the preferred choice for the overall commercial space satellites and payload single-unit parties. COTS components are affected by space radiation particles in space, resulting in total dose effects, single-event effects, etc., causing performance degradation or even failure of COTS components, and ultimately leading to abnormal satellite functions or loss of contact.

[0003] When commercial space satellites select COTS components, they need to conduct anti-irradiation test assessments. The traditional assessment method is to first conduct anti-irradiation assessments on COTS components to determine the total dose resistance and single-event resistance capabilities of COTS components, establish an irradiation database of COTS components, and then import satellite tasks. According to the anti-irradiation indicators of the tasks, COTS components that meet the requirements are selected. If there are no COTS components that meet the requirements in the database, this method will require the re-development of COTS components and then re-assessment, resulting in a long supply cycle and affecting the delivery and use of satellites.

[0048] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0049] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, a method for establishing an irradiation database of commercial space COTS components is provided, including the following steps:

[0050] Step 102: Simulate and calculate the radiation resistance indexes that COTS components need to meet based on satellite operating environment parameters and satellite requirement information.

[0051] The satellite operating environment parameters include the satellite orbit altitude and orbit inclination, and the satellite requirement information includes the satellite service life. The radiation resistance indexes refer to the radiation dose that components can withstand in the space environment, including two indexes: total ionizing dose (TID) resistance and single event effect (SEE) resistance. The total ionizing dose (TID) refers to the total radiation dose that components can withstand when exposed to radiation for a long time, usually expressed in rad(Si). The single event effect (SEE) refers to the local failure that may occur when a high-energy particle impacts a component once.

[0052] By simulating and calculating the radiation resistance indexes, the radiation requirements of the satellite mission for components can be determined in advance, providing a clear goal for subsequent total dose assessment tests and single particle assessment tests.

[0053] Specifically, according to the overall satellite requirements, clarify information such as the satellite orbit altitude, orbit inclination, and service life, and use simulation software to calculate the radiation resistance indexes that components need to meet (including total ionizing dose resistance index and single particle resistance index). Among them, the radiation design margin (RDM) requirement for total ionizing dose resistance is greater than or equal to 2, and its formula is as follows:

[0054]

[0055] Among them, TID 元器件 refers to the total ionizing dose resistance ability of the component itself, with the unit of rad(Si), and TID 环境 refers to the cumulative dose of space radiation particles reaching the component after passing through the shielding material.

[0056] The requirements for single event effect resistance need to meet the following conditions according to aerospace standards:

[0057] 1. For devices with a LET threshold for single event latch-up (SEL) greater than or equal to 75 MeV·cm 2 / mg, they can be preferentially selected; for devices with a LET threshold for SEL greater than 37 MeV·cm 2 / mg, conduct a full system protection design, evaluate the protection effect, and if the protection effect evaluation is qualified, they can be selected.

[0058] 2. For devices with a LET threshold for single event upset (SEU) greater than or equal to 15 MeV·cm 2 / mg, they can be preferentially selected; for devices with a LET for SEU less than 15 MeV·cm 2 / mg devices can be selected after sufficient system protection design is carried out and the protection effect is evaluated and qualified.

[0059] 3. Power devices require a single event burnout (SEB) resistance LET threshold greater than 75 MeV cm 2 / mg, and the operating bias needs to be in the safe operating area (SOA).

[0060] Step 104 , obtaining a plurality of COTS components to be evaluated, and constructing a stand-alone module based on the plurality of COTS components to be evaluated.

[0061] The stand-alone module includes multiple single-particle test areas, each of which includes several COTS components to be evaluated.

[0062] The single-machine module contains multiple COTS components to be tested. This platform is used to simulate the actual satellite working environment and conduct irradiation tests. The size of the single-particle test area corresponds to the particle beam irradiation area in the single-particle assessment test. Through simulation calculation and modular testing, the radiation resistance of multiple components can be evaluated in a shorter time, which greatly accelerates the component evaluation process and shortens the R&D cycle.

[0063] Step 106 , performing a total dose assessment test on the stand-alone modules in each working mode to obtain the total dose resistance capability of each COTS component to be assessed.

[0064] The total dose assessment test (TID Test) is used to simulate the space radiation environment. By irradiating the components with a certain dose of radiation, the performance degradation of the components under different radiation doses is evaluated. The test results are usually used to judge the stability of components during long-term operation. The total dose resistance capability indicates the ability of the component to still work normally after being subjected to a certain radiation dose (TID). It is usually expressed in radiation dose (such as rad (Si)). The total dose assessment test is used to evaluate the tolerance of components to space radiation to ensure that the components can withstand long-term radiation exposure.

[0065] Step 108 , de-packaging each COTS component to be evaluated in the stand-alone module, and performing a single particle assessment test on each single particle test area in the de-packaging stand-alone module in each working mode to obtain the single particle resistance capability of each COTS component to be evaluated.

[0066] Remove the outer shell or package of the component to expose the internal core circuit part for more accurate single - particle evaluation tests. Single - particle evaluation tests are used to irradiate components with high - energy particles (such as heavy ions, protons, etc.) to evaluate their resistance to single - particle effects. Common single - particle effects include single - event upset (SEU), single - event latch - up (SEL), and single - event burnout (SEB). Decapsulating the component to expose its internal structure ensures that particles can directly act on the critical circuit and perform single - particle effect tests, thereby evaluating the component's tolerance to single - particle effects. The ability to resist single - particle effects refers to the ability of a component to maintain normal operation without failure when irradiated by high - energy particles. SEU, SEL, and SEB are common failure modes.

[0067] It can be understood that through rapid total - dose evaluation and single - particle evaluation, deficiencies in the radiation - resistance capabilities of components can be detected and supplemented in a timely manner, enabling rapid protective design or alternative design for problem components. This avoids the process of repeatedly developing new components in traditional methods, effectively reducing test time and costs.

[0068] Step 110: Conduct failure - protection designs for COTS components with total - dose - resistance capabilities lower than the total - dose - resistance index and COTS components with single - particle - resistance capabilities lower than the single - particle - resistance index respectively to obtain corresponding failure - protection strategies.

[0069] Failure - protection design refers to improving the radiation - resistance capabilities of components through redundancy design and hardening design means to ensure the stable operation of components in a high - radiation environment. Redundancy design means designing redundant backups for critical components so that when one component fails, the backup component can continue to work, preventing the overall failure of the system. Hardening design means enhancing the resistance of components to radiation through measures such as using radiation - resistant materials and improving fault - tolerance capabilities. For components with insufficient radiation - resistance capabilities, failure - protection design ensures that the components can adapt to the radiation conditions in the space environment.

[0070] Step 112: Obtain the radiation - resistance capabilities based on the total - dose - resistance capabilities and single - particle - resistance capabilities of each COTS component, and construct a COTS component radiation database according to the satellite operation environment parameters, satellite requirement information, radiation - resistance indexes, radiation - resistance capabilities, and failure - protection strategies of COTS components.

[0071] The COTS component radiation database can store the radiation resistance capabilities, failure protection designs, and other important parameters of different components in a database for convenient and quick querying and selection. According to the satellite mission requirements, suitable COTS components are selected from the database to ensure that they meet the radiation resistance requirements and can adapt to the satellite working environment. Specifically, the COTS component radiation database includes satellite requirement information, component name, manufacturer model, device specifications, process, test conditions, TID, SEL, SEU, and SEB.

[0072] It can be understood that by establishing a component radiation database, components that meet the mission requirements can be quickly queried, reducing the repeated testing of individual components in the traditional method and accelerating the mission delivery progress. At the same time, through database management, the changing requirements of satellite missions for components can be quickly responded to, reducing the development and delivery cycle.

[0073] In the above method for establishing a COTS component radiation database for commercial spaceflight, through simulation calculations, combined with the satellite operating environment and mission requirements, the radiation resistance indicators that COTS components need to meet are determined in advance. Multiple components to be evaluated are tested simultaneously on a single-module, such as total dose assessment tests and single-particle assessment tests, avoiding the cumbersome process of individual testing, significantly shortening the testing time and reducing the R & D cost. For components with insufficient radiation resistance capabilities found during testing, customized failure protection designs are carried out to improve their stability in the space environment. Finally, all evaluation data are integrated into a COTS component radiation database for convenient subsequent component selection and quick matching of mission requirements. The embodiments of the present invention not only ensure that COTS components meet the radiation requirements but also optimize the entire evaluation process, providing strong support for quickly responding to commercial spaceflight missions.

[0074] In one embodiment, as Figure 2As shown in the figure, a schematic flow chart of a method for rapid evaluation of radiation resistance of COTS components and database establishment is provided. The total dose assessment test is carried out on the single-machine module under each working mode to obtain the total dose resistance of each COTS component to be evaluated, including: controlling the working mode of the single-machine module through the host computer, continuously applying irradiation dose to the single-machine module under the current working mode until the total dose standard of the total dose assessment test is reached; the total dose standard is obtained through the total dose resistance index; during the total dose assessment test, the important parameter telemetry of the single-machine module is read back in real time through the host computer, and the post-irradiation performance test of the single-machine module is carried out at the preset sampling points to obtain the post-irradiation performance test results; if there is no abnormality in the post-irradiation performance test results and the important parameter telemetry at the current sampling point, the total dose assessment test is continued; if abnormalities occur in the post-irradiation performance test and the important parameter telemetry, the total dose assessment test is suspended, the failed COTS components in the single-machine module are located, annealing tests are carried out on the failed COTS components, and then the total dose assessment test is continued on the single-machine module. The post-irradiation performance retest of the single-machine module is carried out at the current sampling point. If there is no abnormality in the post-irradiation performance retest results and the important parameter telemetry, the over-irradiation test is carried out, and the post-over-irradiation performance test of the single-machine module after the over-irradiation test is carried out. If there is no abnormality in the post-over-irradiation performance test results and the important parameter telemetry, the failed COTS components in the single-machine module are located to obtain the radiation resistance of the failed COTS components; the failed COTS components are replaced, and the total dose assessment test is continued until all COTS components to be evaluated fail, and the total dose assessment test is stopped to obtain the total dose resistance of each COTS component to be evaluated.

[0075] In this embodiment, the post-irradiation performance test of the single-machine module at the preset sampling points means that for every 5 Krad(Si) of irradiation dose, the radiation source is lowered to stop irradiation, and the performance of the single machine is tested.

[0076] In one embodiment, the method further includes: if there is no abnormality in the post-over-irradiation performance test results and the important parameter telemetry, the single-particle assessment test is carried out on the single-machine module.

[0077] In one embodiment, the method further includes: if there is an abnormality in the post-irradiation performance retest results and the important parameter telemetry, the failed COTS components in the single-machine module are located to obtain the radiation resistance of the failed COTS components.

[0078] In one embodiment, failure protection design is carried out on COTS components with a total dose resistance ability lower than the total dose resistance index, and the corresponding failure protection strategies obtained include: for COTS components with a total dose resistance ability lower than the total dose resistance index, calculate at least the additional equivalent aluminum protection thickness required according to the total dose resistance ability and the radiation design margin to obtain a protection reinforcement plan; obtain the corresponding failure protection strategy according to the protection reinforcement plan and the COTS component replacement plan.

[0079] In one embodiment, failure protection design is carried out on COTS components with a single event effect resistance ability lower than the single event effect resistance index, and the corresponding failure protection strategies obtained include: for COTS components with a single event effect resistance ability lower than the single event effect threshold, carry out protection reinforcement design to obtain the corresponding protection reinforcement plan; the protection reinforcement design includes adding current limiting resistors, cold and hot backups, and two-out-of-three protection design; obtain the corresponding failure protection strategy according to the protection reinforcement plan and the COTS component replacement plan.

[0080] In one embodiment, single event effect assessment tests are carried out on each single event effect test area in the de-packaged single machine module in each working mode to obtain the single event effect resistance ability of each COTS component to be evaluated, including: controlling the working mode of the single machine module through the host computer, and irradiating each single event effect test area in the de-packaged single machine module in the current working mode with corresponding heavy ions according to the single event effect index, where the irradiation area of the particle beam corresponds to the single event effect test area; during the single event effect assessment test, the important parameter telemetry of the single machine module is read back in real time through the host computer, and the output signals of each COTS component to be evaluated are monitored in real time through an external oscilloscope connected by flying wires. Determine whether the COTS component to be evaluated fails according to the output signals of each COTS component to be evaluated and the important parameter telemetry. If the COTS component to be evaluated fails, obtain the single event effect resistance ability of the component according to the test situation, and continue to test other COTS components to be evaluated until all COTS components to be evaluated fail, so as to obtain the single event effect resistance ability of each COTS component to be evaluated.

[0081] In a specific embodiment, taking a satellite with an altitude of 500 km, an inclination of 98°, and a lifespan of 10 years as an example, the specific steps of the method of the present invention are described as follows:

[0082] Step 1, task import. Use simulation software to calculate the cumulative dose of components under this condition, such as Figure 3 the schematic diagram of the cumulative dose changing with the equivalent aluminum shielding layer thickness at different orbital heights shown. When the equivalent protective aluminum thickness is 2 mm, the TID 环境 is 10 krad(Si). According to the RDM of 2, the calculated TID 元器件The total dose test is at least 20 krad (Si). The single particle test selects LET = 37 or 75 MeV·cm 2 / mg of particles.

[0083] Step 2: Select components and application design. Choose components with radiation data from the component radiation database or literature research as much as possible. If not, choose components that meet the satellite performance indicators. Carry out stand-alone circuit design, and conduct radiation resistance tests after the hardware and software integration meets the overall performance indicators of the satellite.

[0084] At this point, the single machine has all the conditions for performance testing. The host computer software can read the remote measurement of important parameters of the single machine. At the same time, the output voltage, impedance, etc. of the single device can also be tested with a handheld multimeter to determine whether the component has failed.

[0085] Step 3, total dose assessment test, according to the calculation results of step 1, a total dose assessment test of 0.1rad (Si) / s and a total dose of at least 20krad (Si) is carried out. During the total dose test, the host computer software controls the single machine working mode, reads back the important parameter telemetry in real time (such as whether the instruction is sent normally, FPGA voltage, temperature, SEU flip number and important device voltage) and saves it. At the same time, the host computer software reads the voltage and current information of the programmable power supply to the single machine and saves it; according to the total dose test standard, every time the irradiation dose of 5Krad (Si) is carried out, the source is reduced and the irradiation is stopped, and the performance of the single machine is tested (such as spectrum, transmission power and receiving power, etc.) to ensure that the performance of the single machine meets the overall performance indicators, and record relevant important data.

[0086] Step 4: Retest after the total dose test. When the data is abnormal during the total dose test, the total dose irradiation test is suspended, and the failed components are located by testing the output voltage of the board components. After locating, a 168-hour annealing test (room temperature annealing or high temperature accelerated annealing) is performed. After annealing, retest is performed. After the test is qualified, a 50% over-irradiation test is performed. After the test, the performance is retested and the failure is located to obtain the component's radiation resistance TID. 元器件 Replace the failed components and continue the total dose irradiation test until all components fail, obtain the total dose resistance of all components, and improve the component information database.

After the single device test is qualified, conduct the single particle assessment test. Select LET = 37 or 75 MeV·cm 2Conduct assessment tests using heavy ions with a dose of / mg. The beam spot area is a circle with a diameter of 4 cm, and multiple devices within the circle are assessed simultaneously (when applying the design in Step 2, after comprehensively considering other elements, try to layout the assessed devices as close as possible).
