As part of a study on radiation effects in optoelectronic materials, we exposed a series of AIGaAs/GaAs double heterostructures grown by molecular beam epitaxy and metalorganic chemical vapor deposition to electron and proton radiation. The active regions of the test articles were either p-, n-, or unintentionally doped. Steady state and time resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy were used to characterize radiation induced changes to the band structure and carrier dynamics. The effects of electron radiation on low temperature photoluminescence spectra and room temperature carrier dynamics varied with dopant type and density. Steady-state photoluminescence reveals distinct proton exposure effects for p-type materials grown by molecular beam epitaxy compared to n-type structures. Both the steady state and time resolved results suggest that n-type materials are more radiation hard to the effects of 1 MeV electrons than p-type materials.

Cross sections to cause single event upsets by heavy ions are sensitive to dopant concentration in diffusion and the structure of the raised layer especially in FDSOI. Due to the parasitic bipolar effect, radiation-hardened FFs using the stacked structure in FDSOI are not free from soft errors, which is consistent with measurement results by heavy-ion irradiation. Device-simulation results show that the cross section is proportional to the silicon thickness of the raised layer and inversely proportional to the doping concentration in drain.

We investigated the radiation tolerance of a Single-Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) device manufactured using a 150-nm CMOS process. CMOS SPADs have been studied in view of utilization as photo-detectors in future space missions. An irradiation campaign has been carried out on several test chips containing SPAD arrays with different dimensions. Samples have been exposed to different displacement damage dose. The dark count rate (DCR) characterization as a function of the delivered proton fluence has showed a significant increase in mean DCR, providing the limits of operability of such devices in a space environment. Annealing and cooling have been investigated as possible damage mitigation approaches.

It was shown that enhanced charge trapping takes place in thick gate dielectrics of p-MOS and MNOS dosimeters at low dose rates (ELDRS). The results are shown to be consistent with the previously proposed model.

Radiochromic film dosimetry is a technique particularly suitable for dose measurements of radiation hardness assurance tests. The main characteristics of radiochromic films are the precise, accurate and permanent dose values, ease of handling and data analysis, high spatial resolution and wide range of dose. However, measurements of the trend of the dose in time with radiochromic films are very difficult by means of commercial read-out tools. In this work we propose a new method, for which a National Patent was filed, for the determination of the dose in real-time and by remote control with radiochromic films. This method based on optoelectronic instrumentation, makes radiochromic film dosimetry an ideal technique for radiation hardness quality assurance tests.

A Radiation hardened temperature controller intended to regenerate CMOS circuits has been designed using commercial off-the-shelf components. Tested with 60Co gamma rays, it has shown a radiation hardness greater than 65 kGy. The hardening methodology used to design the temperature controller is validated through these results.
