X-ray radiation hardness of FD-SOI n- and p-MOSFET has been investigated. After 1.4 kGy(Si) irradiation, 15% drain current increase for n-MOSFET and 20% drain current decrease for p-MOSFET are observed. From analysis of gmmax-Vsub, the major cause of n-MOSFET drain current change is the generated positive charge in BOX. On the other hand, the major cause of p-MOSFET drain current change is the radiation induced gate channel modulation by the generated positive charge in sidewall spacer. It is confirmed that the p-MOSFET drain current change is improved by higher PLDD dose. Thinner BOX is also proposed for further radiation hardness improvement.
