    Every decay will result in at least one crystal defect. Alpha particles don’t travel very far, so it probably cause another crystal defect nearby, and maybe a short chain reaction. I’m sure they can work around it but I don’t think it will be easier to deal with than the defects due to ion migration they already have to deal with in Silicon.
