Prof. Luca Sterpone (Politecnico di Torino)12/11/2018, 16:00Radiation effects
Radiation effects on VLSI technology are provoked when radiation particles such as neutrons, protons or heavy ions hit a sensitive region of the integrated circuits. Due to the progressive technology scaling, VLSI devices are becoming, more and more vulnerable to Single Event Effects (SEEs) and are subject to cumulative ionizing damage known as Total Ionization Dose (TID). This talk will...

Fault injection is a widely used method to evaluate fault effects and error mitigation in a design. While not a replacement for standard Radiation- Hardness Assurance methodologies, it can provide valuable information in a quick and inexpensive manner. Moreover, recent developments have improved performance by several orders of magnitude, thus enabling the realization of extremely large fault...

This presentation describes a method devoted to SEU error-rate prediction for processor-based architectures. The proposed method combines results issued from fault-injection, performed at circuit by means of CEU (Code Emulated Upsets), to those issued from radiation ground tests. It allows predicting error rates without requiring radiation ground-tests for future applications. The approach was...

Technology is changing at a fast pace. Transistor geometries are getting smaller, voltage thresholds are getting lower, design complexity is exponentially increasing, and user options are expanding. Consequently, reliable insertion of error detection and correction (EDAC) circuitry has become relatively challenging. As a response, a variety of mitigation techniques are being implemented. They...

The effects produced by radiation on integrated circuits can be classified into Single Event Effects (SEE) related to transient problems and Total Ionization Dose (TID) effects that arise due to the long exposure time ionizing radiation. The mitigation of these effects on integrated circuits can be done in three ways: Manufacturing Process Level, Architectural Level (redundancy) and Layout...

Most satellites use radiation-hardened microprocessors, as many organizations are concerned that a microprocessor failure could be catastrophic to the mission. Most radiation hardened microprocessors are not as capable as commercial microprocessors, and the instrument's performance might be affected by the microprocessor's capability. Commercial microprocessors can be useful for secondary,...
