The effects of ionizing radiation in large geometry MOS structures were studied by use of internal photoemission techniques. Barrier heights at both the silicon-silicon dioxide and the silicon dioxide-metal (chromium) interface were measured before and after irradiation in a Co60 gamma cell. It was determined that the measured barrier energy heights were considerably reduced by radiation-induced oxide charge.
