In a radiative environment, when a particle with a given LET (Linear energy transfer in MeV.cm²/mg) hits the substrate of a circuit, it creates electron-hole pairs along its braking track; this causes current injections between junctions and consequently upsets node voltages. These transients are called SETs (Single Event Transient). For digital circuits like the FPGA core, a SET corrupts the...

**1. Introduction** Image sensors are widely used in spacecraft for many applications [1] [2]. Photonic imager technology has been developed for wavelength responses that range from ultraviolet, through visible, to infrared. Most radiation effects studies have been made on infrared detectors, and visible/near infrared technologies such as charge coupled device (CCD), charge injection...

AMICSA: Radiation Effects on analogue and mixed-signal ICs

Oral

Abstract: The effect of a single event in today’s advanced semiconductor technology is no longer restricted to a single circuit node, and can depend strongly on layout details, on the angle of the ion, and on the response of the circuit during the charge collection. In order to catch weak spots in circuits and layouts, and to get reliable predictions for space error rates, it is important to...
