Tony,

Experiments were done on single chips that were bombarded from an Alpha source while being continuously tested on an Advantest machine. When the radiation was turned on, the chips failed. Turn it off, they didn't fail.


Presumably this was done with the package opened, as alpha particles do not penetrate very far?
