However, there is limited research on the influence of Co element within this system. In this study, a Sn<img>3.0Ag<img>0.5Cu<img>Bi<img>Sb<img>Ni<img>xCo (x = 0 wt%, 0.02 wt%, 0.05 wt%, 0.08 wt%, 0.1 wt%) alloy (referred to as SACBSN-xCo alloy) was prepared using a melting method. The mechanical properties of SACBSN-xCo alloy solder joints were evaluated through ultimate shear strength testing. The composition analysis of the alloy, phase composition examination, intermetallic compound (IMC) investigation and interfacial layer morphology analysis were conducted using ICP, XRD, SEM and EDS techniques respectively. Furthermore, the evolution process of solder structure and solder joint interface layer under different aging times was observed in detail. Results indicate that with the addition of Co element in the alloy solder system two heat release peaks appear during the solidification process; specifically when adding 0.05 wt% Co element content to the mixture it reduces supercooling degree by 15.17 °C to only 1.03 °C; Moreover wettability improvement can be achieved to some extent when adding either 0.02 wt% or 0.05 wt% Co content. The addition of trace Co can inhibit the excessive growth of IMC in the solder alloy matrix and refine the alloy structure. It can promote the growth of Cu<sub>6</sub>Sn<sub>5</sub>-based IMCs and inhibit the growth of Cu<sub>3</sub>Sn layer in intermetallic compound layer (IMCs). In addition, the mechanical properties and thermal fatigue stability of the solder joints are steadily improved by Co element. After adding Co element, the shear strength of the alloy solder joint is increased by about 14.84 %. After aging at 150 °C for 25 days, the shear strength of SACBSN-xCo alloy solder joints is increased by about 20.4 %, which significantly improves the thermal fatigue stability of the solder joints after high temperature aging treatment. The results show that when Co content is 0.05 wt%, the alloy solder has better comprehensive properties.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51131,"journal":{"name":"Microelectronics Reliability","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140645204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address these challenges, we propose a novel approach utilizing hetero-material (HM) and metal-strip (MS) technology to develop an electrically doped junctionless TFET (HM-MS-ED-JL-TFET). Utilizing work function engineering (4.72 eV) at the control gate (CG) establishes an intrinsic region along the channel, while a combination of work function engineering (4.72 eV) and a polarity bias (electrically doped) of PG = -1.2 V at the polarity gate (PG) induces a <span><math><msup><mrow><mi>P</mi></mrow><mrow><mo>+</mo></mrow></msup></math></span> region across the source, forming an <span><math><msup><mrow><mi>N</mi></mrow><mrow><mo>+</mo></mrow></msup></math></span>-i-<span><math><msup><mrow><mi>P</mi></mrow><mrow><mo>+</mo></mrow></msup></math></span> structure over the thin <span><math><msup><mrow><mi>N</mi></mrow><mrow><mo>+</mo></mrow></msup></math></span>-<span><math><msup><mrow><mi>N</mi></mrow><mrow><mo>+</mo></mrow></msup></math></span>-<span><math><msup><mrow><mi>N</mi></mrow><mrow><mo>+</mo></mrow></msup></math></span> silicon body. This approach effectively mitigates concerns regarding random dopant fluctuations (RDF) without necessitating a thermal budget, streamlining fabrication compared to conventional TFETs. Furthermore, the integration of hetero-material into the source region narrows the tunneling barrier width, enhancing band-to-band tunneling at the source-channel interface and improving critical metrics such as ON-state current (<span><math><msub><mrow><mi>I</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>o</mi><mi>n</mi></mrow></msub></math></span>), subthreshold slope (SS), transconductance (<span><math><msub><mrow><mi>g</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>m</mi></mrow></msub></math></span>), and cut-off frequency (<span><math><msub><mrow><mi>f</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>T</mi></mrow></msub></math></span>). Concurrently, the inclusion of a metal strip at the drain-channel region raises the energy band and suppresses the ambipolar current. To optimize device performance, a comprehensive optimization phase involving material selection, length, and work function tuning of the metal strip is incorporated. Additionally, reliability concerns arising from interface trap charges (ITCs) at the oxide-semiconductor interface during fabrication are investigated. Through extensive simulations utilizing the Silvaco ATLAS device simulator, we demonstrate the enhanced immunity of the HM-MS-ED-JLTFET to various ITCs, rendering it more reliable for ultra-low-power and high-frequency applications compared to conventional counterparts like ED-JLTFET and MS-ED-JLTFET.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51131,"journal":{"name":"Microelectronics Reliability","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140631273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) based on SRAM are preferred for accelerating CNN computations due to their unique characteristics. However, the configuration memory of FPGAs is susceptible to single event effects (SEEs), which can corrupt computations and lead to misclassification of CNN outputs. In this study, we investigated the impact of SEEs on SRAM-based FPGAs with Two-Photon Absorption (TPA) laser fault injections through a comparative analysis of two popular CNN acceleration architectures: streaming architecture (SA) and single compute engine (SCE). Experimental results show that SA-based CNNs require more hardware resources but exhibit superior resilience against single event upsets (SEUs). Without any Radiation Hardened by Design (RHBD) protection, SCE has an error rate approximately twice as high as SA. To mitigate errors, the Xilinx IP core - Soft Error Mitigation (SEM) is used for error detection and correction, leading to error rate reductions of up to 50 % in both architectures. Importantly, we propose the AutoDPR-SEM (Autonomous Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration for Soft Error Mitigation) approach, which automatically reconfigures the SEM IP core when it remains idle due to uncorrectable errors. AutoDPR-SEM significantly improves CNN error rates, reducing errors by approximately 17.8 times in SCE and 14.8 times in SA. We also applied software level simulation to validate the TPA experiment, showing similar trends of the testing results across all models. In conclusion, the study confirms the feasibility of AutoDPR-SEM in both architectures, showcasing its potential to improve CNN error rates in safety-critical systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51131,"journal":{"name":"Microelectronics Reliability","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140631398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
