Total Ionizing Dose Effects on High Resolution (12-/14-bit) Analog-to-Digital Converters

This paper reports total dose radiation test results for high resolution 12-/14-bit A/D converters. Small changes in internal components can cause these devices to fail their specifications at relatively low total dose levels. Degradation of signal-to-noise ratio becomes increasingly importamt for high accuracy converters. Rebound effects in the thick-oxide MOS devices causes these responses to be different at low and high dose rates, which is a major concern for space applications.

Total Ionizing Dose Effects in MOS Oxides and Devices

The development of military and space electronics technology has traditionally been heavily influenced by the commercial semiconductor industry. The development of MOS technology, and particularly CMOS technology, as dominant commercial technologies has occurred entirely within the lifetime of the NSREC. For this reason, it is not surprising that the study of radiation interactions with MOS materials, devices and circuits has been a major theme of this conference for most of its history. The basic radiation problem in a MOS transistor is illustrated. The application of an appropriate gate voltage causes a conducting channel to form between the source and drain, so that current flows when the device is turned on. In Fig. lb, the effect of ionizing radiation is illustrated. Radiation-induced trapped charge has built up in the gate oxide, which causes a shift in the threshold voltage (that is, a change in the voltage which must be applied to turn the device on). If this shift is large enough, the device cannot be turned off, even at zero volts applied, and the device is said to have failed by going depletion mode.

Total Ionizing Dose Effects in 12-Bit Successive-Approximation Analog-To-Digital Converters

Analog-to-digital (A/D) converters are critical components in many space and military systems, and there have been numerous advances in A/D converter technology that have increased the resolution and conversion time. The increased performance is due to two factors: (1) advances in circuit design and complexity, which have increased the number of components and the integration density; and (2) new process technologies, such as BiCMOS, which provide better performance, cost, and smaller size in mixed-signal circuits. High-speed A/D converters, with conversion rates above 1 MHz, present a challenge to circuit designers and test engineers. Their complex architectures and high-performance specifications result in numerous possible failure modes when they are subjected to ionizing radiation. The dominant failure mode may depend on the specific application because the fundamental effects on MOS and bipolar transistors are strongly affected by bias conditions.
