Radiation-hardening-by-Design (RHBD)Radiation-hardening-by-Design (RHBD)
The wide availability of commercial IC processes has led to the philosophy of “radiation hardening by design”.
Explore circuit topologies and layout techniques to create radiation-tolerant circuits
• Submicron bulk CMOS inexpensive
• BiCMOS ideal for mixed-signal design, but very expensive
• SOI/SOS relatively new, growing in popularity

Radiation-hard design challengesRadiation-hard design challenges
Techniques that minimize one radiation mechanism may have little or no effect on another.
Years ago, total dose concerns dominated radiation tolerant design, but they are now secondary to single event effects (SEEs).
SEEs have grown in importance as feature sizes, capacitances, and operating voltages have been reduced.
