Abstract:
The heavy ion experiment was carried out for the static random array memory (SRAM) fabricated with the 22 nm fully depleted silicon on insulator (FDSOI) technology. The single event upset (SEU) and multiple cell upset (MCU) sensitivities of FDSOI SRAM with different radiationhardened designs were compared. The characterization and mechanism of MCU induced by readwrite errors were analyzed. The influence of the substrate bias voltage on FDSOI SRAM SEU sensitivity was revealed. The results show that for five investigated FDSOI SRAMs, the antiSEU capability is from weak to strong in order of 8T SRAM2, redundancydesigned SRAM1, dual interlocked cell (DICE) SRAM3 or SRAM4, and dualDICE SRAM5. The memory arrays of the three DICEtype FDSOI SRAMs have better antiMCU performance than those of the other two SRAMs. Although the memory arrays of DICEtype FDSOI SRAMs had strong antiMCU capability, the influence of readwrite errors inducing MCU on DICEtype FDSOI SRAMs could not be ignored, and the influence is found to be more serious with the increase of SRAM operation frequency. The substrate bias voltage affects the FDSOI SRAMs upset sensitivity by controlling the parasitic bipolar amplification effect.
