  • Abstract
    Design techniques are described for achieving radiation-hardened Schottky-base I2L (SBI2L) circuits. Radiation performance data are presented for this new technology and compared with results for conventional I2L. A design technique is also described for optimizing the intrinsic base sheet resistance in conventional or Schottky-base I2L. This concept is extended to VLSI designs. Finally, as an application of SBI2L, a new design is presented for a radiation-hardened static random-access-memory (RAM) cell.
