The width and shape of the curve are shown to be determined by intra-cell variations of charge collection, not by cell to cell variations. If we assume that there is a unique charge that must appear on the transistor terminal, then the cross section may be described in terms of variation of effective charge collection depth across the device. Contours of constant charge collection can be determined from the parameters that describe the cross section curve. The effects of diffusion can be distinguished from the other charge collection processes.","PeriodicalId":310087,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Third European Conference on Radiation and its Effects on Components and Systems","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124585054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerical analyses of this phenomenon are brought into play to study its sensitivity when a continuous wave laser as well as pulsed lasers are used. The impact location is also studied to demonstrate that different mechanisms are involved in the triggering phase of latchup. The structure is also more sensitive to the blue light when it is directed over the well-substrate junction while it is more sensitive to infrared light elsewhere. When using a CW laser, the curves giving the power supply current versus the photo-induced current provide direct information on the parameters of the parasitic structure.","PeriodicalId":310087,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Third European Conference on Radiation and its Effects on Components and Systems","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127674603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experiment monitors single event effects on 256 Kbit and 1 Mbit SRAMs. It is shown that trapped protons dominate the single event upset rates, as evidenced by correlation with measured proton flux peaks and with flux contours calculated with the AP8 model. The responses of some part type lots were surprising because of the wide variation exhibited in upset rates from device to device within a part type, and because of a wide disparity in upset rates, depending on logic state. The use of generic ground test data in error rate predictions for a mission may be acceptable, but may also result in answers whose inaccuracies are unknown and could be unacceptably large.","PeriodicalId":310087,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Third European Conference on Radiation and its Effects on Components and Systems","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126955550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This reduction in collected charge is associated with the efficient reduction of charge-enhancement mechanisms in the LT GaAs devices.
