The selection of semiconductor hardware best suited for a given electronic system function is becoming more difficult as the number and the performance capability of the available semiconductor technologies increase. To assist designers of radiation-hardened electronic systems in making these decisions the Research Triangle Institute, under AF Avionics Laboratory support, completed a 1976 state-of-the-art review of eight candidate semiconductor technologies for present and future military missions. The electronic capability needed for these hypothetical missions was assumed to require chips of LSI complexity. The expected performance of chips from each technology was assessed with respect to an operating environment consisting of neutrons, total gamma dose and gamma dose rate. Each of these environments was considered independently.
