Recent in vitro studies - that is, studies on cultured cell tissue - have focused on whether radiofrequency radiation might interfere with the DNA repair process and cause damaged DNA to accumulate.

The process by which an atom changes from an unstable state to a more stable state by emitting radiation is called radioactive decay or radioactivity.

Additionally, Flexfet's unique MIGFET on SOI process creates an inherent radiation tolerance, which is extremely useful in avionics and space systems.
