Space is a tough place for electronic circuits since radiation causes short circuits that result in mission failure, said Hwai Lin Khor, vice president of Zero-Error Systems.

Many companies currently build satellite electronics systems with commercial-off-the-shelves (COTS) semiconductor devices to meet the lower cost requirement. But, according to Khor, the COTS chip devices can’t meet the radiation performance, causing system failure and data corruption in space. To address malfunctions using COTS semiconductor devices, Singapore-based startup Zero-Error Systems (ZES) built a patented radiation-hardened semiconductor integrated circuits technology for space and energy management applications.
