According to them, this will help in the development of a new class of vacuum nanotransistors that are not sensitive to radiation and high temperatures. 2025-09-22T15:50+00002025-09-22T15:50+00002025-09-22T15:50+0000russianational research universityrussian academy of sciences (ras)russiascientistsscientific studyspacehttps://cdn1.img.sputnikglobe.com/img/07e4/0c/08/1081397710_46:0:1875:1029_1920x0_80_0_0_90d5318f7ddd8fd195e14d0adc347c77.jpgThe breakthrough will help in the development of a new class of vacuum nanotransistors that are resistant to radiation and high temperatures.The results were published in Sensors and Actuators A: Physical.The miniaturization of modern electronic components leads to increased vulnerability, the team from the National Research University MIET said.Without proper shielding, extreme temperatures, 'hard' radiation or streams of heavy particles can disable them or cause random system failures.When miniaturized below 10 nanometers in size, electronic components become especially sensitive to external impacts, making their use in space nearly impossible, the specialists explained, "due to the high sensitivity of sub-10 nm semiconductor transistors to single radiation effects and displacement effects from cosmic ray exposure. Ioffe Physical-Technical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, found a way to monitor the behavior of the cathode in real time based on a silicon emitter array.Tracking the 'lifecycle' of both the array as a whole and its individual elements helped identify which areas of the cathode structure are critical for stable operation of the transistor with a vacuum gap.In the future, scientists plan to apply the knowledge to analyze fundamental processes in vacuum transistors at the nanoscale.It could also be used in the design of other vacuum nanoelectronics devices, like microfocused X-ray tubes and radio-frequency signal amplifiers. https://sputnikglobe.com/20250807/russian-scientists-develop-improved-algorithm-for-better-vein-visibility-1122571071.htmlrussiaSputnik International feedback@sputniknews.com +74956456601 MIA „Rossiya Segodnya“ 252 602025Sputnik International feedback@sputniknews.com +74956456601 MIA „Rossiya Segodnya“ 252 60Newsen_ENSputnik International feedback@sputniknews.com +74956456601 MIA „Rossiya Segodnya“ 252 601920 1080 true1920 1440 true1920 1920 trueSputnik International feedback@sputniknews.com +74956456601 MIA „Rossiya Segodnya“ 252 60Sputnik Internationalrussian scientists, extreme conditions of space, precise method to control the operation of microchips
