  • Abstract
    The radiation induced front channel threshold voltage shift (ΔVtl) of fully-depleted MOSFETs fabricated in SIMOX is investigated and analyzed as a function of power supply voltage (VDD) from 5.5 to 1.2 volts. This work shows that the expected improvement in front channel radiation hardness by reducing V DD is not fully realized due to (1) a radiation induced off-set voltage at VDD~0 V, and (2) enhanced coupling of the buried oxide charge to the front channel
