title = "Impact of hydrogen contamination on the total dose response of linear bipolar microcircuits",
abstract = "Several linear bipolar microcircuits commonly used in space have been selected to investigate whether hydrogen contamination has an impact on their total dose response. Results obtained from irradiations performed on the HSYEl17 linear voltage regulator from Intersil and the AD590 temperature transducer from Analog Devices show a causal relationship between in-package hydrogen content and total dose response. Silicon nitride passivation has been found to play a key role in this study. A recommended approach to hardening bipolar linear circuits with poor total dose response is to characterize them as processed through metallization.",
