Characterization of multiple-bit errors from single-ion tracks in integrated circuits

  • 1. Jet Propulsion Lab., California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA (USA)

Description

The spread of charge induced by an ion track in an integrated circuit and its subsequent collection at sensitive nodal junctions can cause multiple-bit errors. The authors have experimentally and analytically investigated this phenomenon using a 256-Kbit dynamic random-access memory (DRAM). This study illustrates the effects of different charge-transport mechanisms. Two classes of ion-track multiple-bit error clusters have been identified
