Impact of recombination on heavy ion induced single event upset cross-section
نویسندگان
چکیده
The experimental dependence of the single event upset (SEU) cross-section versus linear energy transfer (LET) function in the nanoscale (with feature size less than 100 nm) memories is explained with the proposed recombination-limited charge yield, which is significantly dependent on LET.

Heavy ion irradiation of SRAM-based FPGA’s
We have investigated the effects produced by exposing a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based on static RAM to an Ion Beam. Tested devices have been taken from FLEX10K family manufactured by Altera Corporation. These parts are commercial graded and not qualified for application in radioactive environments. A design based on mixed plain and Triple-Modular-Redundant (TMR) shift registers (SR...
متن کاملSingle Event Upset Studies on the APV6 Front End Readout Chip
The microstrip tracker for the CMS experiment at the LHC will be read out using radiation hard APV chips. During high luminosity running of the LHC the tracker will be exposed to particle fluxes up to 10 cm s. This high rate of particles introduces a concern that the APV could occasionally suffer from Single Event Upset (SEU). In order to evaluate the expected upset rate the APV was run under c...

Radiation induced failure modes of the Virtex I family have already been analyzed in the past. About configuration logic in particular, at least three kinds of Single Event Functional Interrupts (SEFIs) were believed to exist in the Virtex I, as a consequence of Single Event Upsets [1]: 1) JTAG TAP controller upset; 2) configuration control state machines reset (FSM POR SEFI); 3) SelectMAP conf...

This work is concerned with the vulnerability of spaceborne microelectronics to single event upset, a change of state caused by high-energy charged particles in the solar wind or the cosmic ray environment striking a sensitive node. To measure the susceptibility of a semiconductor device to single event upsets, testing is conducted by exposing it to highenergy heavy ions or protons produced in ...
متن کاملUpset Manifestations in Embedded Digital Signal Processors due to Single Event Effects
Digital Signal Processors (DSP) embedded in FPGAs are irradiated with heavy ions in order to further understand the impact of particle-induced Single Event Effects (SEE) to their functionality. SEE upset duration and start-time measurements taken of various DSPs simultaneously during irradiation experiments provide a portrait of the various contributing upset mechanism as well as on-orbit rate ...
