A clock synchronization protocol called local area common clock protocol (LACCP) was developed as the upper layer protocol of a proprietary link (MIKUMARI), which was defined prior to this work by a community of users from the experimental physics field in Japan. Clock synchronization is realized using a round-trip time measurement with the system clock period and a fine offset time estimation, which corresponds to the clock signal phase difference between the primary and secondary FPGAs. The fine offset measurement is based on information from the IDELAYE2 and ISERDESE2 primitives utilized as the physical layer of the MIKUMARI link. No extra component is used. The LACCP can be implemented in an FPGA using general IO pin pairs for serial transmission and reception. A streaming high-resolution TDC (Str-HRTDC) was developed based on a tapped-delay-line (TDL) built from CARRY4 primitives in the AMD Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA. It continuously measures the timing with 19.5-ps intrinsic resolution in <inline-formula> <tex-math>$sigma $ </tex-math></inline-formula> and provides unique timestamp information over 2.4 h by introducing the time frame structure defined and synchronized by LACCP. The clock synchronization accuracy and the timing resolution were evaluated by connecting four modules with optical fibers up to 100 m in length. No cable length dependence was confirmed. The obtained synchronization accuracy was approximately 300 ps. The timing resolution between two synchronized modules was 23.1 ps in <inline-formula> <tex-math>$sigma $ </tex-math></inline-formula>.","PeriodicalId":13406,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science","volume":"72 3","pages":"614-622"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143637824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tantalum heavy ion irradiation (THII) experiments were conducted on devices subjected to various pretreatments: negative bias temperature stress (NBTS), hydrogen, low temperature, and a combination of hydrogen and NBTS. The results indicate that devices pretreated with NBTS exhibit increased sensitivity to SEB, whereas those subjected to other pretreatment methods demonstrate decreased sensitivity. In addition, the subthreshold mid-gap technique (SMGT) was employed to differentiate between interface traps and oxide charges, with subsequent technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulations analyzing their impacts on SEB. The findings reveal that NBTS pretreatment primarily reduces the built-in potential (<inline-formula> <tex-math>$varphi _{text {B}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) of parasitic bipolar junction transistor (BJT) conduction by generating oxide charges, thereby increasing SEB sensitivity. Conversely, pretreatments with hydrogen and low temperature promote the conversion of oxide charges into interface traps, resulting in decreased SEB sensitivity. Although the change in SEB sensitivity is relatively small, this research reveals a synergistic interaction between NBTI and SEB, which may lead to premature SEB occurrences and reduce the operational lifespan of power VDMOS transistors.","PeriodicalId":13406,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science","volume":"72 3","pages":"901-907"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143637942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study exposes AT89C51RD2 8-bit high-performance flash microcontrollers by varying neutron fluence, assessing their resilience and vulnerabilities through in situ and ex situ experiments. Radiation tests were conducted with thermal and epithermal neutrons. Our results emphasize the importance of shielding, which shows greater resilience of the device in prolonging device lifespan, exhibiting fewer single-event upsets (SEUs) and better reliability in radiation-exposed environments. A single-event functional interrupt (SEFI) was observed during both in situ and ex situ experiments. During in situ experiments (thermal neutron irradiation), the failure was observed when the damage was ~10-8–10-7 dpa, whereas, during ex situ experiments (thermal and epithermal neutron irradiation), the performance of the microcontroller was affected when the damage is ~10-2 dpa. The reason for failure in the device could be due to damage produced by gamma rays (produced by induced activity) and displacement damage [by recoil and primary knock-on atoms (PKAs)]. The presence of 10B in the device, along with interactions with high-energy neutrons, can also lead to functional failures. However, overall findings suggest the potential for the device to develop robust systems in high-radiation environments, as it demonstrates the ability to withstand high neutron flux.","PeriodicalId":13406,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science","volume":"72 3","pages":"848-857"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143637788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
