Simulation of Shielding Effects on the Total Dose Observed in TDE of KISAT-1

Abstract

The threshold voltage shift observed in TDE (Total Dose Experiment) on board the KITSAT-1 is converted into dose (rad(SiO2)) usinsg the result of laboratory calibration with Co-60 gamma ray source in KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute). Simulation using the NASA radiation model of geomagnetosphere verifies that the dose difference between RADFET1 and RADFET3 observed on KITSAT-1 comes from the difference in shielding thickness at the position of these RADFETs.
