For the Belle II experiment at KEK (Tsukuba, Japan) the KEKB accelerator was upgraded to deliver e+e− collisions at a center of mass energy of ECM = 10.58 GeV with an instantaneous luminosity of 8·1035 cm−2s−1. As the innermost part of the Belle II detector, the PiXel Detector (PXD), based on DEpleted P-channel Field Effect Transistor (DEPFET) technology, is most exposed to radiation from the accelerator. A module from the final Belle II production batch was irradiated with X-rays to a total dose of 266 kGy corresponding to 7-10 years of Belle II operation. While individual components have been irradiated before, this campaign is the first full system irradiation. The performance of the DEPFET sensors and front-end electronics and efficiency studies of the module from beam tests performed before and after the irradiation will be presented.
