A radiation hardened thick oxide technology is proposed. It utilizes a double layer consisting of a thick chemically deposited SiO2 over a thin thermal SiO2. In npn transistors, a 1.5 order of magnitude improvement in radiation tolerance is observed when this technology is combined with a highly doped Si surface layer.
