Single event upset in SOS integrated circuits

Single event upset (SEU) by argon and krypton ions has been observed in 1.25 micron CMOS-SOS integrated circuits. Mixed-mode PISCES-SPICE, circuity-device simulations were conducted and the calculated LET threshold compared favorably to experimental data. Analysis with the two-dimensional finite element PISCES code has revealed the upset charge collection mechanism involves charge multiplication due to bipolar action.
