Abstract
The MOSkin, a new MOSFET-based detector designed by the Centre for Radiation Physics, was engineered to provide accurate measurements of skin doses in radiotherapy and personal monitoring. The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) estimates the radiosensitive basal layer to be at an average depth of 0.070 mm. Current commercially available MOSFETs utilize an epoxy bubble encapsulation, making measurements at equivalent depths of 0.070mm difficult. The MOSkin utilizes a novel packaging design that allows the measurement of doses at this equivalent depth. The MOSkin has shown excellent agreement with the Attix chamber for surface measurements in a 6MV photon beam of various field sizes and has minimal angular dependence due to the encapsulation. The new design will diversify the use of MOSFETs for dosimetry in radiotherapy and radiation protection.
