Abstract :
The total-dose response of bipolar microcircuits is investigated. A recovery of the degradation is observed for high total dose in the saturation region. The circuit response in this region is studied based on room temperature annealing. The role of the electric field is studied and the results are discussed in terms of hardness assurance.
