  • Abstract
    The effects of fast neutron irradiation (30 MeV) on silicon n-channel JFETs are studied. Electrical parameters of the gate-channel junction are analyzed at several fluences using a custom software. Electrical parameter changes are attributed to bulk semiconductor defects. Irradiation effects on passivation overlayers are evaluated using analysis of gate-channel junction electroluminescence
