Description
The trends in modern CMOS microelectronics technology towards ever smaller feature sizes and more complex geometries containing many different materials has made it increasingly difficult to define appropriate models to treat radiation effects phenomena, especially single event effects. The ESA-funded DESMICREX Project is aimed at developing a system of state-of-the-art simulation software tools within a coherent framework to model radiation effects in deep sub-micron CMOS technologies. The principal tools of the software system comprise Geant4, the MINIMOS-NT device physics simulator, and the GTS Framework. This presentation gives a review of the models and development work undertaken within this on-going project.
