Abstract:
Transient ionizing radiation results were presented on neutron irradiated 0.15 μm commercial CMOS SRAMs, and the transient ionizing upset effect was observed. Compared with the non-neutron irradiated SRAMs, the neutron irradiated SRAMs exhibit higher tolerance in the transient ionizing environment. Neutron irradiation could enhance the transient ionizing upset threshold on CMOS devices. The neutron induced minority carrier lifetime reduction is the main reason for the experiment result.
