The objectives are to provide on-board post-irradiation regeneration system to COTS parts to enhance their radiation tolerance. The end product is the experimental demonstration of a novel packaging approach based on a resistor grid that is used to regenerate devices in presence of radiation. Key Innovations: controllable thermal resistor grid arrays to be incorporated in COTS systems that use chip-on-board technology to enhance their radiation performance.
