| Abstract |
In this paper, CMOS image sensors were exposed to thermal neutrons observing an increase in the dark signal of many pixels. The effect was found to be similar to the damage caused by alpha particles irradiation. Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS) and SIMNRA simulation were used to confirm that the sensors contain boron in the insulation layers. The damage produced by thermal neutrons is explained as displacement damage caused by alpha particles and lithium-7 ions in the silicon active volume of the sensors after boron-10 thermal neutron capture. |

| Abstract |
We evaluate the use of the thick buried oxide (BOX) of Fully Depleted Silicon-on-Insulator (FD-SOI) transistors for Total Ionizing Dose (TID) measurements in a radiotherapy application. The devices were fabricated with a custom process in UniversitC) Catholique de Louvain (UCL) which allows to make accumulation mode PMOS transistors and inversion mode NMOS transistors. We characterized the temperature behavior of these devices and the response under X-ray radiation produced by an Elekta radiotherapy linear accelerator, and compared the obtained dose sensitivity to other published works. Taking advantage of these devices, an ultra low power MOS ionizing dose sensor, or MOS dosimeter, with inherent temperature compensation is presented. This dosimeter achieved a sensitivity of 154 mV/Gy with a temperature error factor of 13 mGy/°C and a current consumption below 1 nA. |
