Description

<p>Functional and parametric degradation of microcircuits due to total ionizing dose (TID) often pose serious obstacles to deployment of critical state-of-the-art (SOTA) technologies in NASA missions. Shielding to the electronics box is used to mitigate TID degradation. Shielding materials can add significant amounts of mass to a system.  One method for reducing mass is to apply “spot” shielding located only on the critical components that require it. Board area is often a constraint for spot shield design.  3-D printing technology offers promising breakthroughs in the design and deployment of radiation shielding optimized to the capability of the component, the mission radiation environment, and the shielding already provided by the component’s surroundings. Shields can be designed based upon the individualized package features to minimize area yet better protect from the omnidirectional radiation environment; such hand-and-glove fits would otherwise require complex machining.</p><p>Shield design is accomplished by the commercially-available NOVICE code.  NOVICE radiation attenuation calculations use the code’s ray-trace procedure in conjunction with 1-D attenuation data scaled for the different attenuation properties of the materials. A 3-D adjoint Monte-Carlo simulation verifies shielding effectiveness. NOVICE then generates the .STL CAD file for direct importation into a DMLS system.</p><p>We have demonstrated successful development, fabrication, and mass-savings of a DMLS additive-manufactured component-level prototype shield. The prototype shield was assembled to a PCB-mounted operational amplifier as a proof-of-concept and for Phase II functional evaluation necessary to bring this technology to TRL-6.  Phase II efforts focus on environmental (vibration, thermal-vacuum) testing of the shield-component-PCB system.  Additional goals include demonstration of reliable DMLS-printed shield design and fit across package types, and assessment of the manufacturing quality of the DMLS-printed shields across multiple manufacturers and materials.</p>
