In this aspect, the dependence of sensitivity on both the gate voltage and the mean energy for three X-ray beams is examined. The eight gate voltages from 0 to 21 V are applied, and the dependence of the sensitivity on the gate voltage is well fitted using the proposed equation. Regarding X-ray energy, the sensitivity first increases and then decreases as a consequence of the behavior of the mass energy-absorption coefficients and is the largest for RQR8 beam. As the mass energy-absorption coefficients of SiO2 are not found in the literature, the mass energy-absorption coefficients of silicon are used. The behavior of irradiated transistors during annealing at room temperature without gate polarization is also considered.}, organization = {European Commission 857558}, organization = {Ministry of Education, Science & Technological Development, Serbia 43011}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {VDMOSFETs}, keywords = {X-ray}, keywords = {Irradiation}, keywords = {Sensitivity}, keywords = {Fading}, title = {Commercial P-Channel Power VDMOSFET as X-ray Dosimeter}, doi = {10.3390/electronics11060918}, author = {Ristic, Goran S. and Palma López, Alberto José}, }
