Fast neutron irradiation tests were performed to determine the correlation of change of drain-source resistance and neutron fluence for power MOSFETs. The Objectives of the tests were: (1) to detect and measure the degradation of critical MOSFET device parameters as a function of neutron fluence (2) to compare the experimental results and the theoretical model. In general, the drain-source resistance increased from 1 Ohm to 100 Ohm after exposure to fast neutron fluence of 3 x 1014 neut/cm2, and decreased by a factor of five after high temperature annealing.
