Radiation-Hardened CMOS Devices for Linear Circuit Applications

Abstract
In the past, the use of MOS devices in a radiation environment has normally been restricted to applications requiring a 15 volt power supply or less. This paper discusses a new process for manufacturing high-voltage (30 volt) radiation-hardened CMOS devices for linear circuit applications. Devices have been fabricated which demonstrate hardness above 2 Mrads(Si). This paper also discusses necessary controls and design rules for this process.
