The new approach of a simulation low dose rate radiation effects in bipolar integrated circuits

The model is proposed to explain the effects of low dose rate under the radiation influence in bipolar structures, taking into account the effects of subthreshold displacement in high-doped silicon layers. The base current degradation of bipolar transistor is determined of surface and displacement radiation effects in the near-surface base area. The conditions for the enhanced low dose rate sensitivity (ELDRS) in bipolar structures are shown. The presented results of the analysis allow us to explain most of the observed experimental results.
