Abstract
A gate controlled lateral PNP bipolar device has been designed in a commerc ial BiCMOS process to investigate its sensitivity to radiation-induced degr adation. New experimental and simulated results concerning total dose effec ts are presented. The improved radiation hardness of this device working in its accumulation mode is shown. The influence of the gate potential during irradiation is studied as well as the effect of the gate potential on the degraded current characteristics.
