The aluminum gate complementary MOS silicon on sapphire (CMOS/SOS) technology has been applied to the development of three radiation hardened large scale integration (LSI) microcircuits for satellite applications. The read control, write control, and multiplexer control LSI circuits range in complexity from 550 to more than 750 gates each (2000 to 3000 transistors). This discussion presents the results of the total dose radiation testing on these circuits to levels up to, and including, 1 x 10/sup 7/ rads (Si).
