Abstract: Here-in this work, boron doped poly-silicon based dimensional variants of thin film planar junctionless field effect transistors are fabricated through CMOS compatible process for pH detection. The dimensional variants are classified into two sets as set-1 (channel length, L = 100 μm) and set-2 (channel length, L = 120 μm) with widths of 3 μm, 5 μm, 10 μm, and 20 μm. Sensitivity of the fabricated devices is analyzed using phosphate buffer saline solutions of pH 3.1, 5.2, 7, 9 and 11.2 and is computed in terms of relative shift in threshold voltage (VTh) and maximum drain current (IDS). The reference VTh and IDS are taken at neutral pH 7. Here we have experimentally analyzed the effect on pH sensitivity by varying the device widths and temperatures from 30 °C to 50 °C. It is observed that varying the device width from 3 μm to 20 μm, VTh sensitivity reduces from 19.08% to 9.17% and from 16.03% to 8.5% for set-1 and set-2 devices respectively. Increasing temperature from 30 °C to 50 °C causes reduction of VTh sensitivity from 18.68% to 13.52% for device with W/L = 3μm/100 μm and 16.78%–10.99% for device with W/L = 3μm/120 μm. The reduction in width causes average VTh sensitivity to roll-off by 0.49%/μm and 0.26%/μm for L = 100 μm and L = 120 μm respectively. Also the increase in operating temperature from 30 °C to 50 °C leads VTh sensitivity to roll-off by 0.17%/°C and 0.2%/°C for W/L = 3μm/100 μm and W/L = 3μm/120 μm respectively.

Abstract: The possibility of using commercial p-channel power vertical double-diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (VDMOSFETs) as X-ray sensors is investigated in this case study. In this aspect, the dependence of sensitivity on both the gate voltage and the mean energy for three X-ray beams is examined. The eight gate voltages from 0 to 21 V are applied, and the dependence of the sensitivity on the gate voltage is well fitted using the proposed equation. Regarding X-ray energy, the sensitivity first increases and then decreases as a consequence of the behavior of the mass energy-absorption coefficients and is the largest for RQR8 beam. As the mass energy-absorption coefficients of SiO2 are not found in the literature, the mass energy-absorption coefficients of silicon are used. The behavior of irradiated transistors during annealing at room temperature without gate polarization is also considered.
