Abstract

Several versions of the 1802 CMOS microprocessor were subjected to Co-60 irradiations. Total dose data is provided for production line parts from two vendors, a specially processed radiation hard lot, and one developmental SOS unit. The increase in total dose failure level from 1 x 104 to 5 x 105 rads(Si) for the specially processed Parts proves the feasibility of hardening the Si-gate LSI technology used for the 1802.
