  • Abstract
    A simplified procedure for measuring the absorbed dose using floating-gate transistors is presented and demonstrated on 64 K UVPROMs. Reading the dosimeter involves a standard electrical readout at 5 V, generates shifts in the response curve that are proportional to absorbed dose, and is suitable for applications on spacecraft
