  • Abstract
    A radiation sensor compatible with CMOS technology is presented. It provides a binary output which changes its state when the total radiation dose exceeds a prefixed threshold. This circuit is intended to be used as a built-in sensor in standard circuits, to prevent malfunction due to radiation hazards. After measuring the radiation effects on MOS devices, the sensitivity of different sensor designs has been calculated.
