[18a-Z11-1] Radiation Hardness Evaluation and Radiation Degradation Model of ELT
Keywords:Total Ionizing Dose effect, MOSFET, Enclosed Layout Transistor
The characteristic of MOSFETs degrade due to a total ionizing dose (TID) effect in environments where they are exposed to radiation for long periods of time, such as space and nuclear power. The TID effect refers to the degradation of MOSFETs due to the accumulation of electric charge when exposed to radiation for a long time. In this report, the radiation effects of ELTs (Enclosed Layout Transistors), which are one of the countermeasures against TIDs, were evaluated for high cumulative doses up to 100 Mrad. In addition, a circuit simulator model that can represent the characteristic degradation of ELTs from the measured values was investigated. It was found that the characteristic degradation can be represented by incorporating the threshold voltage shift and carrier mobility decrease as radiation-dependent parameters in the circuit simulator.
