The dynamic and static radiation damage of silicon carbide MOSFETs with different gate oxide thickness
Radiation effects are a critical issue for SiC MOSFETs in space and nuclear applications. The thickness of the oxide layer is an important factor affecting the radiation resistance of SiC MOSFETs. The thickness of the gate oxide layer will affect the radiation effects of Si MOSFETs, to study the effects of different gate oxide thickness (tox) on the total dose radiation damage of SiC MOSFETs, In this paper, we demonstrate the effects of two different tox with 50 nm and 70 nm on the dynamic and static characteristics of SiC vertical double-diffused MOS (VDMOS) after gamma irradiation, and the total dose effect radiation damage mechanism is revealed through experiments and simulations, the main reasons for the degradation of static parameters and dynamic characteristics of the devices are identified. The results indicate that gate oxide thickness will also impact the radiation effects of SiC MOSFETs significantly, a thicker gate oxide layer accumulates more captured charge under the total ionizing dose (TID), thus producing a more severe performance degradation. The results can provide a basis for the optimization of the gate oxide thickness and the application of TID radiation-resistant of SiC MOSFETs.
