The use of Al(2)O(3) dielectric in MOS based radiation sensors has been investigated. Their response has been compared with conventional MOS capacitors with a SiO(2) dielectric. The study includes gamma radiation effects with dose up to 4 Gy. The effect of radiation has been determined from the valance band shift in CV curves. The amount of charge induced by the radiation has been calculated and compared with the response of MOS capacitors with SiO(2) with the same and different thicknesses. Fading properties have been studied and compared. Results show that MOS capacitors with Al(2)O(3) dielectric exhibit sensitivity greater than that obtained from MOS capacitors with SiO(2). This higher sensitivity is attributed to higher trapping efficiency in the Al(2)O(3) layer.

Impact of composition modification induced by ion beam Coulomb-drag effects on the nanoindentation hardness of HT9
Gigax, Jonathan G.; Kim, Hyosim; Aydoğan Güngör, Eda; Price, L. M.; Wang, X.; Maloy, S. A.; Garner, F. A.; Shao, L. (Elsevier BV, 2019-04-01)
Accelerator-based ion irradiation is commonly used to simulate neutron damage, in lieu of neutron irradiation due to limited availability of fast flux facilities and little to no activation of the samples. Neutron atypical effects, however, must be recognized and their impact minimized in order to achieve the most accurate microstructural evolution under ion bombardment. Mechanical property changes, which arise from the synergy of numerous radiation-induced changes, are especially susceptible to these neutr...

In this work the effects of gamma radiation on the Raman spectra of Ge nanocrystals embedded in SiO2 have been investigated SiO2 films containing nanoparticles of Ge were grown using the r f -magnetron sputtering technique Formation of Ge nanocrystals was observed after high temperature annealing in an inert atmosphere and confirmed by Raman measurements The intensity of the Raman signal originating from Ge nanocrystals was found to decrease with increasing gamma radiation The study also includes the gamma ...
A systematic study on MOS type radiation sensors
Yilmaz, Ercan; Kaleli, Buket; Turan, Raşit (Elsevier BV, 2007-11-01)
Radiation sensors based on metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) structure are useful because of their superior sensitivity as well as excellent compatibility with the existing microelectronic technology. In this paper, a systematic study of MOS capacitors built on p- and n-type Si substrates with different SiO2 thicknesses (10 nm, 50 nm, 100 nm and 240 nm) is presented. MOS device response to gamma radiation up to 256 Gray have been studied from the sensor application point of view. Variation of the radiation in...

The inorganic crystal scintillator CsI(TI) has been used for low energy neutrino and Dark Matter experiments, where the intrinsic radiopurity is an issue of major importance. Low-background data were taken with a Csl(TI) crystal array at the Kuo-Sheng Reactor Neutrino Laboratory. The pulse shape discrimination capabilities of the crystal, as well as the temporal and spatial correlations of the events, provide powerful means of measuring the intrinsic radiopurity of Cs-137 as well as the U-215, U-238 and Th-...
Measurement of fragmentation properties of charmed particle production in charged-current neutrino interactions
Onengut, G; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2004-12-01)
During the years 1994-1997, the emulsion target of the CHORUS detector was exposed to the wide-band neutrino beam of the CERN SPS. In total about 100 000 charged-current neutrino interactions were located in the nuclear emulsion target and fully reconstructed. From this sample of events which was based on the data acquired by new automatic scanning systems, 1048 Do events were selected by a pattern recognition program. They were confirmed as neutral-particle decays through visual inspection. Fragmentation p...
