Abstract:
A circuit-level engineering approach to estimate single-event induced multiple-cell upset (MCU) characteristics in bulk CMOS SRAM was mainly presented in this paper. The proposed multinodes charge collection model could evaluate the bitupset cross sections in the layoutdesign process considering parasiticbipolar effects. The impact of different LETs and tilting angles of ion incidence on MCUs were studied and compared to experimental data for the devices manufactured by 65 nm technology.
