Abstract

We have studied the radiation hardness of the VA1. a Viking-architecture preamplifier VLSI chip. LSI samples are fabricated by 0.8 μm and 0.35 μm process technology to improve radiation hardness of the LSI for the Belle silicon vertex detector upgrade. We have observed significant improvement of the radiation hardness with 0.8 μm technology. Little degradation of noise and gain is observed to total dose of 20 MRad .for the VA1 fabricated by the 0.35 μm technology. We find that the radiation hardness improves at a scaling of better than tox-6 (tox: oxide thickness). Basic parameters of MOS FETs are also studied to understand a mechanism of the radiation damage in the VA1.
