A new generation of aerospace computer systems has set off the search for an integrated circuit technology that can stand up to the high doses of radiation found naturally in space or generated by nuclear explosions. Only CMOS/SOS (silicon-on-sapphire) offers the necessary resistance to single-event upset and transient and total-dose radiation. This, coupled with low power consumption and fast internal switching speeds, makes CMOS/SOS devices processed to MIL-M-38510 Class S type specifications and radiation-hardened the leading candidates for all present and future aerospace computer systems.
Radiation resistance gives CMOS/SOS the aerospace edge
