The effects of high temperature and total dose gamma radiation on a power MOSFET (metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor) (N-channel) and an operational amplifier
Little data exists on the effects of high temperature (> 125/sup 0/C) and/or total accumulated gamma doses exceeding 10 Megarad on electronic components. The results of a series of tests investigating these effects on an N-channel MOSFET and a dielectrically isolated operational amplifier are presented. The devices were exposed to high temperatures and high total dose radiation and a simultaneous combination of these environments. For the MOSFET, temperature effects appear to be more detrimental than long-term radiation exposure, and that ''radiation burn in'' may be a viable way to provide uniform device response in a radiation environment. The operational amplifier had a flat temperature response from ambient to 125/sup 0/C, and minimal device parameter shifts with an accumulated dose of 100 Megarads (air).
