An improved RADFET-based module with an extended dose range of 1 kGy TID based on COTS parts

An improved RADFET based module dosemeter has been developed by Varadis (a spin out company of Tyndall National Institute in Cork, Ireland) with serial number RM-VT01-A. The module is based on commercially available, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) parts and represents an updated version of its predecessor RM-VT01 with an upper dose limit of 10Gy (1 kRad) also based on COTS parts. The RM-VT01-A module was tested to a total dose of 1kGy (100 kRad) in Co60 field at Vinča Institute of Nuclear Sciences, Belgrade, Serbia. The improved module circuit was specifically designed to address the challenge of withstanding 1 kGy (100 kRad) received dose. The primary goal of this poster is to present the improvements in the circuit design and working principle. For this purpose, eleven modules were tested, 8 powered and 3 unpowered during irradiation. The module electronics accommodates both irradiation “sense” and readout “single-current-point” mode, outputting the RADFET threshold voltage (VT) as a dosimetric information, directly proportional to the absorbed dose. The output voltage of the module was measured with a simple benchtop voltmeter to demonstrate module operation simplicity and easy system integrability. The experimental data results showed excellent agreement with the dosimetry system used at the Vinca irradiation facility, and calibration data of the VT01 RadFET part.ELICSIR Project Symposium; January 25-27, 2023, Niš, Serbi

Comment on "Comparison of air breakdown and substrate injection as mechanisms to induce dielectric charging in microelectromechanical switches" [Appl. Phys. Lett. 92, 043502 (2008)]

The purpose of this comment is to provide additional insight into the reliability of microelectromechanical capacitive switches (MEMSs) investigated by Molinero and Casta er [Appl. Phys. Lett. 92, 043502 (2008)]. We show that the presence or absence of ambient humidity determines whether the shift in the capacitance-voltage (C-V) curve of oxide-based MEMS occurs as a result of voltage stress. In humid air, negative and positive shifts in the C-V curve are observed after negative and positive bias stress. In dry air no such shifts in the C-V curve are seen. These shifts are similar to those reported on oxide-based switches by Molinero and Castaner [Appl. Phys. Lett. 92, 043502 (2008)] where they show shifts occurring in room ambient pressure, but not in vacuum. This indicates that not only air pressure but also air humidity can be responsible for shifts in MEMS. (C) 2009 American Institute of Physics. (doi: 10.1063/1.3255008

A simple electrical test method to isolate viscoelasticity and creep in capacitive microelectromechanical switches

A bipolar hold-down voltage was used to study mechanical degradation in radio-frequency microelectromechanical capacitive shunt switches. The bipolar signal was used to prevent the occurrence of dielectric charging and to isolate mechanical effects. The characteristics of material stress relaxation and recovery were monitored by recording the change of the pull-in voltage of a device. The creep effect in movable components was saturated by repeated actuation to the pulled-in position, while comparison with a theoretical model confirmed the presence of linear viscoelasticity in the devices.
