Radiation damage induced by various particles on CC4013 devices

During serving in orbit, spacecraft will be affected by the radiation environment of the space high-energy charged particles, leading to the performance degradation or even malfunctions of electronic components. The complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices are sensitive to ionization damage. Therefore, it is valuable to research the mechanism of radiation effects on CMOS devices, and is significant to engineering and theory. The CC4013 CMOS integrated circuits are irradiated with 60 MeV Br ions, 5 MeV protons and 1 MeV electrons. Based on the data calculated by Geant4 code, the ionizing absorbed dose induced by 60 MeV Br ions is greatest, and the ionizing absorbed dose induced by 1 MeV electrons is lowest. The degradation of CC4013 device during the irradiation test is in-situ measured with Keithley 4200-SCS semiconductor characteristic system. From the experimental results, the threshold voltage degradation in CC4013 under an exposure of 1 MeV electrons is greatest at the same dose, a little lower under 5 MeV protons, and lowest under 60 MeV Br ions.
