Abstract

The switched dose rate technique has been proposed as an accelerated test technique for enhanced low-dose-rate sensitivity. The physical mechanisms at play when this technique is applied are investigated in this paper. The variation of N ot and N it is characterized using gated lateral pnp transistors to understand the kinetics of device degradation related to differences in mechanisms between high dose rate and low dose rate irradiations.
