文摘The characteristic degradations in silicon NPN bipolar junction transistors(BJTs) of type 3DD155 are examined under the irradiations of 25-MeV carbon(C),40-MeV silicon(Si),and 40-MeV chlorine(Cl) ions respectively.Different electrical parameters are measured in-situ during the exposure of heavy ions.The experimental data shows that the changes in the reciprocal of the gain variation((1/β)) of 3DD155 transistors irradiated respectively by 25-MeV C,40-MeV Si,and 40-MeV Cl ions each present a nonlinear behaviour at a low fluence and a linear response at a high fluence.The(1/β) of 3DD155 BJT irradiated by 25-MeV C ions is greatest at a given fluence,a little smaller when the device is irradiated by 40-MeV Si ions,and smallest in the case of the 40-MeV Cl ions irradiation.The measured and calculated results clearly show that the range of heavy ions in the base region of BJT affects the level of radiation damage.
