The gratings were written with a femto-second UV laser in three different fibers, both intrinsically highly photosensitive and hydrogen sensitized. We have found that in contrast with the results obtained on gratings written with UV-lasers, the Bragg peak shift under radiation is almost independent on the fiber type, the use of hydrogen loading, or grating amplitude. The grating amplitude change depends on the fiber type.","PeriodicalId":392728,"journal":{"name":"2009 European Conference on Radiation and Its Effects on Components and Systems","volume":"201 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123032084","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}

Controllability and observability of large RAM blocks available in current digital devices (System-on-Chip, SOCs, and System-on-Programmable-Chip, SOPCs, Multiprocessor-System-On-Chip, MPSOCs) are restricted to data and address buses. It is mandatory, not only to check RAM block reliability itself but also its behaviour within a circuit where transient faults may be propagated from discrete memory elements (flip-flops) towards large memory blocks (RAMs) and vice versa. In this paper, a solution is proposed for checking the robustness of complex digital circuits against single events by means of hardware emulation. A new memory model accelerates emulation campaigns giving enhancements around 90% in fault injection rates.","PeriodicalId":392728,"journal":{"name":"2009 European Conference on Radiation and Its Effects on Components and Systems","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129199415","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}

Its microarchitecture has been completely redesigned with deep low-power optimizations. It has been manufactured in a 1μm SOI process with tungsten metallization layers ensuring a high sustained operating temperature of 225 °C. The SEE characterization presented here have been carried out in the Cyclotron Research Centre of Louvain-la-Neuve. It shows a very high threshold LET of 90 MeV/mg/cm2 at a nominal Vdd of 5 V, while it is latchup immune due to SOI. Thanks to the power-optimized microarchitecture, its power consumption is only 8.5 mW/MIPS, which is close to a LEON2 FT manufactured in a far more sensitive 0.18μm process, making it a very low-power 80C51 for extremely harsh environments. Hardening by using a harsh process allows to use standard design tools and advanced aggressive low-power techniques. Even if the SOI 1μm technology used here is very big, results obtained in this work show that it can compete for low-power microcontrollers with a 0.18μm sub-micron technology hardened by using power hungry tripple modular redundancy. Whereas this harsh process approach offers quite better SEE tolerance.","PeriodicalId":392728,"journal":{"name":"2009 European Conference on Radiation and Its Effects on Components and Systems","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128575180","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}

Two oxide thicknesses as well as the presence of a trap-rich passivation layer are considered. The impact of neutron irradiation is directly related to the competition between the generation of interface traps, which are beneficial to reduce parasitic surface conduction (PCS) into the Si substrate similarly to the passivation layer, and accumulation of radiation induced positive charges in oxide, which would unfortunately increase PSC. It is shown that under neutron irradiation, RF losses are strongly reduced in the case of thin oxide, while substrates with a polysilicon passivation layer are almost insensitive to the neutron irradiation.","PeriodicalId":392728,"journal":{"name":"2009 European Conference on Radiation and Its Effects on Components and Systems","volume":"8 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133239834","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}
