- Abstract
Response of pMOS dosemeters during two successive irradiations with gamma-ray irradiation to a dose of 35 Gy and annealing at room and elevated temperature has been studied. The response was followed on the basis of threshold voltage shift, determined from transfer characteristics, as a function of absorbed dose or annealing time. It was shown that the threshold voltage shifts during first and second irradiation for the gate bias during irradiation of 5 and 2.5 V insignificantly differ although complete fading was not achieved after the first cycle of annealing. In order to analyse the defects formed in oxide and at the interface during irradiation and annealing, which are responsible for threshold voltage shift, midgap and charge-pumping techniques were used. It was shown that during first irradiation and annealing a dominant influence to threshold voltage shift is made by fixed oxide traps, while at the beginning of the second annealing cycle, threshold voltage shift is a consequence of both fixed oxide traps and slow switching traps.
