This document presents a compilation of results from tests performed by iRoC Technologies on SER induced by alpha particles on SRAM memories for technology nodes from 180 nm to 65 nm. The aim of this study is to establish the variation of sensitivity with technology node for SEU and MCU, and to analyze the possible influence of different designs and technological parameters at a given technology node.
The soft-error vulnerability of flip-flops has become an important factor in IC reliability in sub-100-nm CMOS technologies. In the present work the soft-error rate (SER) of a 65-nm flip-flop has been investigated with the use of alpha-accelerated testing. Simulations have been applied to study the flip-flop SER sensitivity in detail. Furthermore, an easy-to-use approach is presented to make an accurate...
This work reports real-time soft-error rate (SER) testing of semiconductor static memories in both altitude and underground environments to separate the component of the SER induced by the cosmic rays (i.e. primarily by atmospheric neutrons) from that caused by on-chip radioactive impurities (alpha-particle emitters). Two European dedicated sites were used to perform long-term real-time measurements...
This paper describes a methodology for building a reliable internet core router that considers the vulnerability of its electronic components to single event upset (SEU). It begins with a set of meaningful system level metrics that can be related to product reliability requirements. A specification is then defined that can be effectively used during the system architecture, silicon and software design...
