Abstract

Modern regulations [1] stress the necessity of testing integrated circuits (ICs) in order to determine the real level of their resistance to single voltage pulses induced by electromagnetic radiation (EMR). With expansion of the EMR spectral composition, however, direct energy release can occur due to the absorption of the EMR field energy by the IC chip itself. To assess this possibility, the relationship is found between different mechanisms of the EMR-induced energy release for the typical irradiation geometry.
