Abstract
An integrated circuit package with a buffer providing radiation protection to memory elements and components is described. The integrated circuit packages and the incorporated buffers provide a protective distance between potential sources of internal radiation particles within the integrated circuit package and any memory elements/components which may be sensitive to radiation such as alpha particles. This protective distance allows for the integrated circuit packages to be completed or assembled without needing added more expensive or redundant memory components.
