Summary: | Neutron radiation causes significant changes in the characteristics of MOS devices by the creation of oxide-trapped charge and interface traps. The degradation of the current gain of the GF4936 dual n-channel depletion mode MOS transistor, caused by neutron displacement defects, was measured using in-situ method during neutron irradiation. The average degradation of the gain current is 35 mA at maximum fluence of 2.0 × 1010 n/cm2 while with an average of 25 mA at minimum fluence of 5.0 × 108 n/cm2. The change in channel current gain increased proportionally with neutron fluence, meanwhile drain saturation current decreased proportionally with the neutron fluence. © 2016 AIP Publishing LLC. |
