    International audienceExperiments conducted at high and low dose rates show that the total dose response of bipolar linear integrated circuits is influenced by mechanical stress. The role of mechanical stress on enhanced low dose rate sensitivity is discussed

    Elevated Temperature Irradiation at High Dose Rate of Commercial Linear Bipolar ICs

    No full text
    International audienceThe effect of high temperature irradiations has been investigated on four types of commercial linear bipolar integrated circuits (ICs) at eight temperatures ranging from 25°C to 150°C for different total doses at a given dose rate. In agreement with results obtained for individual bipolar transistors, the results show that an optimum irradiation temperature exists that leads to a maximum amount of degradation. Results are compared to low dose rate (LDR) irradiations for ICs with npn and pnp input transistors
