Title: Total ionizing dose effects on MOS and bipolar devices in the natural space radiation environment

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/10160345· OSTI ID:10160345

Mechanisms that control the response of MOS and bipolar devices to ionizing radiation in the natural space environment are briefly reviewed. Standard tests based on room-temperature irradiation and elevated temperature annealing are described for MOS devices to bound the effects of oxide and interface-trap charge in space. For bipolar devices that exhibit enhanced low-dose-rate sensitivity, a standard test equivalent to that developed for MOS devices is not available. However, screening techniques based on room temperature and/or elevated temperature irradiations are described which can minimize the risk to spacecraft and satellite electronics from this phenomenon.
