The radiation induced front channel threshold voltage shift ({Delta}V{sub tl}) of fully-depleted MOSFETs fabricated in SIMOX is investigated and analyzed as a function of power supply voltage (V{sub DD}) from 5.5 to 1.2 volts. This work shows that the expected improvement in front channel radiation hardness by reducing V{sub DD} is not fully realized due to (1) a radiation induced off-set voltage at V{sub DD} = 0 V, and (2) enhanced coupling of the buried oxide charge to the front channel.
