Effectiveness of Body Ties for Imporving the Soft Error Tolerance of SOI Technologies

Conference ·
OSTI ID:8472

Floating body effects can undermine the soft-error tolerance of partially-depleted SOI technologies [1, 2]. Body ties are used to mitigate floating body effects [3,4]. In this paper, we study the charge collection properties and effectiveness of different body tie designs for reducing soft errors induced by energetic particle strikes.
