Abstract
This paper presents a detailed analysis of commercial trench power MOSFET responses to Co60 irradiation of all key d.c. electrical test parameters. Charge trapping in the gate oxide causes the threshold voltage (V TH) to shift, which, in turn, accounts for most of the degradation exhibited by the device after irradiation.
