Effects of moisture on radiation-induced degradation in CMOS SOI transistors

IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science

Shaneyfelt, Marty R.; Schwank, James R.; Dodd, Paul E.; Hill, Thomas A.; Dalton, Scott M.; Swanson, Scot E.

The effects of moisture on radiation-induced charge buildup in the oxides of a 0.35 μSOI technology are explored. Data show no observable effects of moisture-related aging on radiation hardness. These results are in contrast to those of previous work performed on bulk MOS technologies fabricated in the 1980s. The cause of these differences do not appear to be due to differences in final chip passivation layers. Instead, other processing variables (e.g., thicker overlayers) may account for these differences. In any case, the SOI technology results indicate that not all advanced technologies exposed to moisture are necessarily susceptible to enhanced radiation-induced degradation. © 2010 IEEE.

Hardness assurance test guideline for qualifying devices for use in proton environments

IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science

Schwank, James R.; Shaneyfelt, Marty R.; Dodd, Paul E.; Felix, James A.; Baggio, J.; Ferlet-Cavrois, V.; Paillet, P.; Label, K.A.; Pease, R.L.; Simons, M.; Cohn, L.M.

Proton-induced singl -event effects hardness assurance guidelines are developed to address issues raised by recent test results in advanced IC technologies for use in space environments. Specifically, guidelines are developed that address the effects of proton energy and angle of incidence on single-event latchup and the effects of total dose on single-event upset. The guidelines address both single-event upset (SEU), single-event latchup (SEL), and combined SEU and total ionizing dose (TID) effects. © 2006 IEEE.
