摘要
Total ionizing dose radiation effects on the electrical properties of metal-oxide-semiconductor devices and integrated circuits are complex in nature and have changed much during decades of device evolution. These effects are caused by radiation-induced charge buildup in oxide and interfacial regions. This paper presents an overview of these radiation-induced effects, their dependencies, and the many different approaches to their mitigation.
