We find that measuring the front-gate curves has no influence on total ionizing dose effect.However, the back-gate curves’ measurement has a great influence on total ionizing dose effect due to high electric field in the buried oxide during measuring. In this paper, we analyze their mechanisms and we find that there are three kinds of electrons tunneling mechanisms at the bottom corner of the shallow trench isolation and in the buried oxide during the backgate curves’ measurement, which are: Fowler–Nordheim tunneling, trap-assisted tunneling, and charge-assisted tunneling.The tunneling electrons neutralize the radiation-induced positive trapped charges, which weakens the total ionizing dose effect. As the total ionizing dose level increases, the charge-assisted tunneling is enhanced by the radiation-induced positive trapped charges. Hence, the influence of the back-gate curves’ measurement is enhanced as the total ionizing dose level increases. Different irradiation biases are compared with each other. An appropriate measurement sequence and voltage bias are proposed to eliminate the influence of measurement.展开更多

The device is found to be more sensitive to SEGR with TID increasing, especially at higher temperature. The microscopic mechanism is revealed to be the increased trapped charges induced by TID and subsequent enhancement of electric field intensity inside the oxide layer.展开更多

The radiation tests are performed at 60Co sources at the dose rate of 50 rad （Si）/s. The investigation＇s results show that the radiation-induced charge buildup in the gate oxide can be ignored, and the field oxide isolation struc- ture is the main total dose problem. The total ionizing dose （TID） radiation effects of field oxide parasitic transistors are studied in detail. An analytical model of radiation defect charge induced by TID damage in field oxide is estab- lished. The I-V characteristics of the NMOS parasitic transistors at different doses are modeled by using a surface potential method. The modeling method is verified by the experimental I V characteristics of 180 nm commer- cial NMOS device induced by TID radiation at different doses. The model results are in good agreement with the radiation experimental results, which shows the analytical model can accurately predict the radiation response characteristics of advanced bulk CMOS technology device.展开更多

The latchup phenomenon strongly correlates with the bias configuration during irradiation. It is found that the high body doping concentration can make the devices less sensitive to the single transistor latchup effect, and the onset drain voltage at which latchup occurs can degrade as the total dose level rises. The mechanism of band-to-band tunneling （BBT） has been discussed. Two-dimensional simulations were conducted to evaluate the BBT effect. It is demonstrated that BBT combined with the positive trapped charge in the buried oxide （BOX） contributes a lot to the latchup effect.展开更多

According to needs of simulating the total ionizing dose(TID) radiation effect, parameters of operational amplifier are taken into account when the performance is specified. The operational amplifier model used for the TID radiation effect simulation is completed after verifying each modeled parameter. And a parameter for describing the external environment is introduced to make the model combined with TID. Finally, an example is used to illustrate the TID effect on the operational amplifier of MC14573, proving the validity of the model.展开更多
