Abstract
Low-power, dual sensitivity thin oxide FG-MOSFET sensors in RF-CMOS technology for a wireless X-ray dosimeter chip, methods for radiation measurement and for charging and discharging the sensors are described. The FG-MOSFET sensor from a 0.13 μm (RF-CMOS process, includes a thin oxide layer having a device region, a source and a drain associated with the device well region, separated by a channel region, a floating gate extending over the channel region, and a floating gate extension extending over the thin oxide layer adjacent to the device well region. In a matched sensor pair for dual sensitivity radiation measurement, the floating gate and the floating gate extension of a FG-MOSFET higher sensitivity sensor are without a salicide layer or a silicide layer formed thereon and the floating gate and the floating gate extension of a FG-MOSFET lower sensitivity sensor have a salicide layer or a silicide layer formed thereon.
