Proton irradiation effects in silicon devices

  • 1. IMEC, Leuven (Belgium)

Description

Proton irradiation effects in silicon devices are studied for components fabricated in various substrates in order to reveal possible hardening effects. The degradation of p-n junction diodes increases in first order proportionally with the fluence, when submitted to 10 MeV proton irradiations in the range 5x109 cm-2 to 5x1011 cm-2. The damage coefficients for both p- and n-type Czochralski, Float-Zone and epitaxial wafers are reported. Charge-Coupled Devices fabricated in a 1.2 μm CCD-CMOS technology are shown to be quite resistant to 59 MeV H+ irradiations, irrespective of the substrate type. (author)
