MOS Structure for Emergency Gamma and Proton Dosimetry
Effect of gamma and proton irradiation on threshold voltage shift ? VT for n-channel MOSFET has been studied. For MOSFET with zero gate bias during gamma irradiation the shift ? VT is linear with dose D? (up to doses of 10 Gy) and the sensitivity ? VT/D? is approximately 120 mV.Gy-1. The sensitivity of MOSFETs with positive gate bias Vg during irradiation varies as Vg2/3 and no saturation is observed up to breakdown voltage. n-MOSFETs with bias of 100 V have the sensitivity of approximately 5 V.Gy-1. When n-MOSFETs are irradiated with 50 MeV protons the shift ? VT varies as Dp0.67 (for proton doses Dp ranged from 0.2 to 900 Gy). The positive charge storage in oxide is shown to contribute mainly to the radiation sensitivity of n-MOSFETs investigated.
