Abstract
Cosmic radiation has been identified as a decisive factor for power device reliability. Energetic neutrons create ionizing recoils within the semiconductor substrate which may lead to device burnout. While this failure mode has gained widespread acceptance for power devices based on silicon the question whether a similar mechanism could also lead to failure of SiC devices was left to be debated. Radiation hardness intrinsic to the SiC material was generally assumed but as experimental data was scarce reliability problems due to radiation-induced device failure could not be ruled out. Recent accelerated testing results now show that cosmic radiation will indeed affect the reliability of SiC power devices, as it is the case for its silicon counterpart, but the problem can be contained very effectively by device design.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
