The results of several years of radiation characterization of the CMOS 65nm technology at both transistor level and circuit level will be summarized here.The degradation of the performance of 65 nm MOSFETs upon radiation exposure was studied using 10-keV X-rays, but also using 3-MeV protons. Models that parameterize the effect of total dose on MOS performance have been defined according to the...
In view of the LHC luminosity upgrade (HL-LHC), new radiation tolerant silicon sensors are being developed. Such sensors will have to cope with radiation levels of up to about $10^{16}\text{ fast hadrons}/\text{cm}^2$. Under these conditions, the degradation of the charge collection efficiency remains the main obstacle in detector operation. Furthermore, as new functionalities are given to...
