Abstract
A method of testing a field effect device for radiation hardness. The method comprises the steps of subjecting the field effect device to a low temperature environment, developing a first set of data points by measuring the conductance of the field effect device as a function of gate voltage at a first substrate bias, developing a second set of data points by measuring the conductance of the field effect device as a function of gate voltage at a second substrate bias, which is different from the first substrate bias, and comparing the first and second sets of data points to obtain an assessment of radiation hardness.
