- Comparative study of the proton beam effects between the conventional and Circular-Gate MOSFETs(2012) Cirne K.; Silveira M.A.G.; Santos R.B.B.; Gimenez S.P.; Barbosa M.D.L.; Tabacniks M.H.; Added N.; Medina N.H.; De Melo W.R.; Seixas Jr. L.E.; De Lima J.A.The study of ionizing radiation effects on semiconductor devices is of great relevance for the global technological development and is a necessity in some strategic areas in Brazil. This work presents preliminary results of radiation effects in MOSFETs that were exposed to 3.2 Grad radiation dose produced by a 2.6-MeV proton beam. The focus of this work was to electrically characterize a Rectangular-Gate MOSFET (RGT) and a Circular-Gate MOSFET (CGT), manufactured with the On Semiconductor 0.5 μm standard CMOS fabrication process and to verify a suitable geometry for space applications. During the experiment, I DS × V GS curves were measured. After irradiation, the RGT off-state current (I OFF) increased approximately two orders of magnitude reaching practically the same value of the I OFF in the CGT, which only doubled its value. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

- Performance of electronic devices submitted to X-rays and high energy proton beams(2012) Silveira M.A.G.; Cirne K.H.; Santos R.B.B.; Gimenez S.P.; Medina N.H.; Added N.; Tabacniks M.H.; Barbosa M.D.L.; Seixas L.E.; Melo W.; De Lima J.A.In this work we have studied the radiation effects on MOSFET electronic devices. The integrated circuits were exposed to 10 keV X-ray radiation and 2.6 MeV energy proton beam. We have irradiated MOSFET devices with two different geometries: rectangular-gate transistor and circular-gate transistor. We have observed the cumulative dose provokes shifts on the threshold voltage and increases or decreases the transistor's off-state and leakage current. The position of the trapped charges in modern CMOS technology devices depends on radiation type, dose rate, total dose, applied bias and is a function of device geometry. We concluded the circular-gate transistor is more tolerant to radiation than the rectangular-gate transistor. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
