Description

Selected microcircuits were tested for heavy ion induced single event upset (SEU) and latchup. The devices showed no signs of heavy ion induced latchup for LET values up to 120 MeV/(mg/cm2). SEU LET thresholds varied within a rather narrow range of 40 to 60 MeV/(mg/cm2). The test results suggest that FACT devices will exhibit higher tolerances to the cosmic ray environment than functionally similar microcircuits fabricated in HC/HCT, ALS, or LS technologies
