Testing Neutron-induced Soft Errors in Semiconductor Memories
Advances in VLSI technology have ensured the availability of high performance electronics for a variety of applications. The applications include consumer electronics like cellular phones and HDTVs; automotive electronics like those used in drive-by-wire vehicles, and million dollar servers used for storing and processing sensitive and critical data. These varied applications require not only h...
متن کاملRadiation Measurement Technologies for Evaluating Soft Errors
Two radiation measurement technologies for estimating and lowering the occurrence rate of “soft errors” are introduced. Radiation such as fast neutrons (generated by cosmic rays) and α-rays (generated by the impurities in materials composing LSIs) cause incorrect operations—known as soft errors—in computer systems. Since soft errors undermine the reliability of mission-critical products such as...

متن کامل[Invited Talk] Reliability on Integrated Circuits
This presentation deals with the reliability issues on advanced VLSIs, such as soft errors, BTI (Bias Temperature Instability). It also explains the SOTB (Silicon On Thin BOX) process by the collaboration with Renesas Electronics and VDEC. Temporal failures are mainly caused by alpha particles from packages or neutrons from outer space. These particles generate electron-hole pairs to flip memor...
متن کاملAnalysis of Terrestrial Single Event Upsets by Body Biases in a 28 nm UTBB Process by a PHITS-TCAD Simulation System
We analyze the soft-error tolerance of a latch in a 28-nm UTBB (Ultra Thin Body and BOX) process by a PHITS-TCAD simulation system. It is composed of two parts, a particle transport simulation by PHITS (Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System) and a device simulation. The neutron induced SERs (soft error rates) can be analyzed by the simulation system. We investigate the soft errors on 28-...
