Devices behavior limitations are presented, and layout-based techniques are proposed to reduce bipolar transistors radiation sensitivity. The global design procedure combines these layout hardened devices with rad-dedicated design techniques. In addition, a gated lateral PNP has been designed to evaluate the ionizing radiation effects on its electrical characteristics. Its voltage controlled current gain remains sufficiently large once irradiated to expect an effective hardening of the analog function. To illustrate this approach, a commercial BiCMOS integrated circuit has been fabricated in an Austria Mikro Systeme process. The test vehicle revealed a good radiation hardness level.","PeriodicalId":106774,"journal":{"name":"RADECS 97. Fourth European Conference on Radiation and its Effects on Components and Systems (Cat.

The optical behavior of the various optomodulators under test is related to their structure. As a matter of fact, optical perturbations are due either to photocurrent which superposes to electrical bias, or to an alteration of couplers characteristics.","PeriodicalId":106774,"journal":{"name":"RADECS 97.

This paper explores the practicability of such radiation noise modelling by applying the ACCEPT code from the ITS suite to the case of a shielded CCD exposed to an electron flux. The results are compared with those obtained in a subsequent electron irradiation of the CCD by a Van de Graaff accelerator.","PeriodicalId":106774,"journal":{"name":"RADECS 97.

The fabricated L/sup 2/BT structure is obtained by merging PMOS transistor and PNP lateral bipolar transistor in one device. With 35 nm thin oxide above active channel and base areas, L/sup 2/BT appears as convenient device for simultaneous analysis of radiation induced effects on bipolar and MOS type transistor operation. It was found that near-midgap interface surface recombination velocity affects bipolar operation at much lower total dose before substantial generation of positive trapped oxide charge develops to affect MOS operation. The relative weak sensitivity of L/sup 2/BT current gain on total accumulation dose is identified and explained. Based on this result, a new radiation hardening approach of lateral bipolar transistors is proposed with internal current loop sensing method.","PeriodicalId":106774,"journal":{"name":"RADECS 97.
