Several devices fabricated in the AT and T/Sandia CMOSV 1.25 {mu}m technology have been characterized for transient radiation hardness. Dose rates upset levels exceeding 10{sup 9} rad (Si)/s were obtained on 16-bit microprocessor, 64K SRAM and 256K SRAM ICs. In this paper experimental data on neutron irradiated parts is given. Secondary photocurrents are shown to exist in logic structures which do not have adequate p-well contact placement. Layout guidelines are developed which allow the IC designer to eliminate secondary photocurrents in a given design.
