The long wavelength absorption edge is shown to be the main absorption mechanism at megagray doses. Its value increases with increasing bonded hydrogen concentration in the fiber glass network and is slightly greater in N-doped fibers. No nitrogen-related color centers have been revealed in the short wavelength loss edge, which is determined by chlorine impurity in silica.","PeriodicalId":106774,"journal":{"name":"RADECS 97.

Experimental CMOS devices have been produced with feature sizes below 0.1 /spl mu/m, demonstrating that devices with feature sizes between 0.1 and 0.25 /spl mu/m will likely be available in mainstream technologies after the year 2000. This paper discusses how the anticipated changes in device dimensions and design are likely to affect their radiation response in space environments. Traditional problems, such as total dose effects, SEU and latchup are discussed, along with new phenomena. The latter include hard errors from heavy ions (microdose and gate-rupture errors), and complex failure modes related to advanced circuit architecture. The main focus of the paper is on commercial devices, which are displacing hardened device technologies in many space applications. However, the impact of device scaling on hardened devices is also discussed.","PeriodicalId":106774,"journal":{"name":"RADECS 97.
