Radiation tolerant complementary MOS logic for bipolar/CMOS integrated circuitry

摘要

A novel double diffused complementary MOS (DCMOS) logic family is disclosed which allows greater tolerance to total dose gamma radiation. The logic family may be fabricated in conventional power BiCMOS IC technology in which complementary power DMOS output devices and Bi-polar transistors are integrated with high performance complementary MOS devices to perform both digital and analog functions. The incorporation is achieved without the additional masks or process modifications normally required for improving radiation tolerance.
