Comparison of charge yield in MOS devices for different radiation sources

NMOS transistors were irradiated using X-ray, Co-60 gamma, electron, and proton radiation sources. The charge yield was estimated for protons of different energies and electrons and compared to values obtained for X-ray and Co-60 irradiations.
