Abstract :
The effects of alpha irradiation on the charge in threshold voltage have been measured for standard RADFET die housed in a custom package. The intended application is for monitoring process stability in an ion implantation process. The results show that these devices exhibit good promise for use as a routine dosimeter for periodic comparison of the stability of the process.
