Question: How did they protect transistors against cosmic rays in 1969?
Asked by levi
In 1969, transistors were protected against cosmic rays using either heavy shielding or a hardening technique known as "skin effect". Heavy shielding involved surrounding the transistor with material such as lead or steel, which absorb and deflect ionizing radiation. The skin effect involved coating the transistor with a thin layer of plastic or other non-conducting material to reduce the impact of cosmic rays on the sensitive components.
