Abstract: A high reliability radiation shielding integrated circuit device comprising a plurality of package layers; a radiation shielding lid or base coupled to the plurality of package layers; wherein the circuit die are shielded from receiving an amount of radiation greater than the total dose tolerance of the circuit die. An integrated circuit device for use in high reliability applications. The integrated circuit device is designed to be highly reliable and protect integrated circuit die from failing or becoming unreliable due to radiation, mechanical forces, thermal exposure, or chemical contaminates.

Abstract: A method of making an electrode structure, the electrode structure and a double layer capacitor including the electrode structure, the method comprising the steps of: forming a plurality of electrodes, each having a current collector plate, a primary coating formed on each side of the collector plate, the primary coating including conducting carbon powder and a binder, and a secondary coating formed on each primary coating, the secondary coating including activated carbon powder, a solvent and a binder; positioning a respective separator between each electrodes while stacking the electrodes such that the respective separator is juxtaposed against respective secondary coatings of adjacent electrodes that electrically insulates the adjacent electrodes, whereby forming an electrode stack; and rolling the electrode stack into a cylindrical electrode structure.
