  • Abstract
    The intent of this work was to determine what type of emitter, either arsenic or phosphorus, would yield a superior radiation tolerance. This was accomplished by fabricating devices of each type with thin heavily doped base and collector regions. All devices were irradiated to a neutron fluence of 3 × 1014n/cm2, 1 MEV equivalent. The results of this investigation did not support the hypothesis that arsenic was superior to phosphorus.
