Description

The effects of high-frequency ac bias on the ionizing radiation response of MOSFETs were studied. Radiation-induced interface traps were annealed out during irradiation and post-irradiation annealing when an ac bias was applied with a zero offset-voltage. In addition, the recovery of 40 MHz biases devices agreed with that of 860 MHz biased ones for the same total number of alternating cycles of ac gate bias voltage. It is concluded that an alternating transition between inversion and accumulation caused by high-frequency ac bias is responsible and the total number of transition cycles may be relevant for the annealing of radiation-induced interface traps
