Experimental results showing angular dependence for charge collection in SOI transistors under heavy ion irradiation are presented. Geant4 and Synopsys Sentaurus simulations are performed to analyze these results in terms of direct ionization effects. The influence of the beam direction in relation to that of the transistor's channel on the transistor's response is underlined. Depending on the considered beam direction, deviation from the inverse-cosine law is shown to vary from 0% to 30%. These differences seem to be independent of the ion energy. However, the use of different ion species may hide this possible effect.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
