TID, SEE and Radiation Induced Failures in Advanced Flash Memories
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on TID and SEE tests of multi-level and higher density flash memories. Stand-by currents and functionality tests were used to characterize the response of radiation-induced failures. The radiation-induced failures can be categorized as followings: SEU read errors during irradiation, stuck-bit read errors verified post-irradiation, write errors, erase failures, multiple upsets, and single-event latch up.

It is hard to underestimate the importance of Flash memories for ground-level applications, from MP3 players to digital cameras. In addition, Flash memories are used in areas where high reliability is necessary (automotive, biomedical, etc.). Thanks to their low power requirements and large size, they are attractive for use in harsh environments as well, where the sensitivity to ionizing radiat...

Today, with the rise of the private sector in space exploration, space missions are becoming more frequent than before. This in relation to the fact that modern electronics scale both faster and denser, the effects of radiation become a critical design requirement for fault-tolerance in on-board space computer systems. Radiation damage can be separated into two categories, Total Ionizing Effect...

Total ionizing dose (TID) effects and single event effects (SEE) in antifuse-, Flash-, and SRAM-based field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are reviewed. There is a brief discussion of the programmable element impact on the FPGA architecture. In the following sections, most radiation data are from antifuse-based FPGAs. The basic TID mechanisms are introduced and used to explain the anomalies i...

متن کاملRadiation Effects on Advanced Flash Memories
Radiation tests of advanced flash memories including, multi-level flash technology, are compared with results from previous generations. Total dose failure levels are comparable to or lower than those of older technologies, but are likely still caused by degradation of the internal charge pump. Small numbers of read errors were observed during single event tests of the multi-level devices that ...
