TalRad™ Process Design Kit

The Transistor-Adjusted-Layout for Radiation (TalRad™) Process Design Kit (PDK) is a rad-hard process design methodology that improves the radiation performance of commercial process technologies. Now available!

Benefits of the TalRad PDK

  • Up to 10x improvement in TID performance*
  • Little to no design size penalty
  • Minimal process integration effort
  • Standard transistor look and feel
  • The TalRad™ transistor can be over 5 times smaller than their Annular counterparts for the longer channel lengths necessary for precision matching and high gain.
  • The TalRad™ techniques can be implemented in any CMOS or BCD foundry to improve the radiation tolerance of bulk or shallow-trench-isolated silicon processes.
  • Implementing TalRad™ includes the development of design-rule-checker and layout-vs-schematic rule decks, PCELLs and characterizing the radiation performance and reliability of the new components.
