Description

The radiation tolerance by 2 MeV electrons irradiated to the commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) p- and n-JFETs was studied. For the situation of p-JFET, the drain current (ID) of the input characteristics decreased by electron irradiation. The ID decreasing attributed to the increase of channel resistance by electron irradiation. In contrast, for n-JFET, the ID decreases at the fluence lower than 1x1015 e/cm2, then the ID increases at the fluence higher than 5x1015 e/cm2. The anomalous ID behavior of n-JFET could be explained by considering extending and narrowing of the n-channel. (author)
