摘要
This work proposes a new measurement technique to extend the dose range of MOS dosimeters. The technique consists on alternating stages of positive oxide charge buildup with stages of radiation induced charge neutralization, maintaining a uniform sensitivity along the whole measurement. The technique was applied with 70 mn MOS dosimeters, extending the dose measurement range from less than a kilogray to more than 675 kGy without showing wear effects. An initial saturation of interface traps creation ensures repeatability in the responses.
