Abstract

Non-destructive ion irradiation experiments and corresponding device simulations were performed in order to investigate the radiation sensitivity of different device structures. We modeled an irradiation experiment in which a high power diode is exposed to 84Kr, 28Si, and 12C-ions in order to validate and calibrate the simulation models. Device simulations reveal spatial and temporal distributions of electric field and carrier denisities occuring in the interior of the device. therefore, they help to identify and explain the mechanism of strong charge multiplication induced by incident ions.
