ABSTRACT:
A method for preventing single event upsets (SEUs) in MOS circuits is disclosed. A resistive area (88, 89) is situated in a semiconductor device such that when a high energy particle passes through the device and the resistive area (88, 89) the stray carriers caused by the particle will pass through the resistive area (88, 89) causing a voltage drop which will prevent the upset of the MOS circuit. A low resistance path is provided for the normal operating current in the device so that the normal operating parameters of the device are not affected by the protection provided by the resistive area (88, 89).
