Abstract

Results are presented for the first time of a study on the degradation of the electrical performance of MOSFET's processed on SIMOX substrates and subjected to a 220-MeV carbon irradiation. For the n-MOSFETs an unstable increase of the drain current in linear operation is found, while for the p-MOSFETs, a drastic reduction is observed, both in linear operation and in saturation. The radiation damage is also compared to the results for 1-MeV electrons, 1-MeV fast neutrons and 20-MeV alpha rays. The differences in the damage coefficients are explained by the differences in the number of knock-on atoms and the nonionizing energy loss (NIEL). The recovery behavior of the device performance by isochronal annealing is also reported.
