Abstract :
A stacked p-FET dosimeter consisting of a RADMON mother chip with three p-FETs and multiplexer and an attached RADFET has been developed for the STRV-2/MWIR detector. Calibration of the dosimeter, using an Am-241 source, indicates that the RADFET is about 20 times more sensitive to radiation than the RADMON. This dosimeter is expected to measure radiation dose from rads to Megarads
