Abstract
A monolithic charge-sensitive preamplifier based on n-channel junction field-effect transistors (JFETs) and p-channel MOS has been realized for applications with microelectrode detectors in elementary particle physics. Radiation resistance tests carried out with the preamplifier exposed to γ-rays emitted by a 60Co source have shown no significant increase of the equivalent noise source up to 150-krd absorbed dose
