Radiation- and Temperature-Induced Fault Modeling and Simulation in BiCMOS LSI’s Components using RAD-THERM TCAD Subsystem
P. 1–4.
A special RAD-THERM version of TCAD subsystem based on Sentaurus Synopsys platform taking into account different types of irradiation (gamma-rays, neutrons, electrons, protons, single events) and external/internal heating effects was developed and validated to forecast the results of natural experiments, and help the designer on with reliability guarantee. The radiation- and temperature-induced faults were modeled and simulated for Si/SiGe BJTs/HBTs and bulk/SOI MOSFETs as BiCMOS LSI’s components. The causes of device parameter degradation were discussed.

The study presents the results of developing a combined TCAD-SPICE model of the behavior of CMOS memory cells under space impact conditions. The study analyzes both degradation from prolonged cosmic radiation and single-event upsets (SEUs) caused by high-energy particle strikes, which can flip memory states in space-based electronics. The dependence of SEU hardness on cell ...

Большие скачки температуры в структурах мощных полупроводниковых приборов при их включении и выключении существенно снижают надежность работы силовых схем. Широко используемые маршруты электротеплового моделирования тепловых схем имеют ряд недостатков: использование взаимосвязанных Spice-симуляторов электрических цепей и пакета 3D численного моделирования тепловых полей требует детального описания 3D-конструкций и больших затрат компьютерного времени; использование только Spice-подобных симуляторов электрических ...

С уменьшением размеров транзисторов возникают условия, когда удар одной частицы затрагивает сразу несколько транзисторов в составе ячейки памяти. Вследствие этого при моделировании недостаточно учитывать один транзистор, в который непосредственно попадает частица. В работе рассмотрена полноразмерная 3D-модель двух n-канальных транзисторов, являющихся частью 6T-ячейки памяти, в которую ударяет заряженная частица. Предложен способ моделирования удара частицы, который позволяет ...

The dependence of temperature and back-gate bias on single-event upset (SEU) sensitivity is investigated based on a 0.2- μm double silicon-on-insulator (DSOI) technology. At room temperature, an obvious decrease in SEU cross section with the negative back-gate bias is experimentally observed for a DSOI static random access memory (SRAM). The physical mechanism of single-event effect ...
