This invention provides a radiation dosimeter and new method of operation which comprise two types of the metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) circuits allowing to amplify the threshold voltage changes due to radiation and provide temperature compensation. The first type dosimeter is a radiation integrated circuit (RADIC) which includes two radiation field-effect transistors (RADFET) and two MOSFETs, integrated into the same substrate. The second type of radiation circuit includes two RADFETs, integrated into the same substrate, and two resistors. The amplification of the threshold voltage change is achieved by using amplification principles of an MOSFET inverter. In both cases, under the ionizing irradiation, the gate of first RADFET is forward biased and the gate of second RADFET is biased off. In the reading mode the amplified differential threshold voltage change is measured. The increased radiation sensitivity allows to measure of the milli-rad doses. The temperature effect and drift is substantially eliminated. These radiation integrated circuits can be used as a personal dosimeter in the nuclear, industrial and medical fields.
