Description

Proton induced upset measurements have been performed on some NMOS resistive load static RAMs for temperatures down to -1250C. Results show that the upset cross section strongly depends on temperature as well as incident beam flux. SPICE modelling for the critical charge versus temperature is not sufficient to explain the data. An explanation is provided that describes multiple sub-critical LET particles strikes within RAM cell integration times causing upsets
