Experimental Evidence of the Effect of Ionizing Radiation on the Space Charge Region in BJTs
This study investigates the interplay between ionizing radiation-induced interface traps and displacement defects in NPN bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) containing high-density Au defects. Through 60Co γ-ray irradiation experiments and technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulations, we demonstrate that positively charged interface traps induce a spatial redistribution of the space charge region (SCR), contracting the SCR in the N-type collector while expanding it into the P-type base. Deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) reveals a 40% reduction in Au defect concentration (from 1.09 × 1014 cm−3 to 6.55 × 1013 cm−3) post-irradiation, corroborated by simulated electron concentration profiles. These findings provide direct experimental evidence of ionizing radiation's impact on SCR modulation, critical for radiation-hardened device design.
