Abstract: There is disclosed a radiation stable shield for use in space or high altitude applications. The shield comprises a plurality of overlapping planar glass flakes which are held in a lamellar matrix of flexible polymeric material. The flakes are each formed of a radiation stable glass which is suitable for use in space or high altitude applications. The flakes are arranged in alignment with the lamellar direction of the matrix.

Abstract: According to one exemplary embodiment, a method for isolating a failure site in a leaky wordline in a memory array includes dividing said leaky wordline into an initial leaky wordline portion and an initial non-leaky wordline portion, where the initial leaky wordline portion has wordline-to-substrate leakage. The initial leaky wordline portion can be determined by using a passive voltage contrast procedure to illuminate the initial leaky wordline portion. The method further includes performing a number of division and identification cycles on the initial leaky wordline portion to determine a final leaky wordline portion. According to this exemplary embodiment, the final leaky wordline portion comprises a predetermined number of memory cells. The method further includes performing a cutting and imaging procedure on the final leaky wordline portion to isolate the failure site.
