After the invention of the laser in 1960, it wasn’t long until its potential use to emulate transient radiation-induced effects was recognized. Following the first experimental demonstration of this capability in 1965, a series of studies that aimed to replicate various single-event effects (SEEs) were published in quick succession. However, it wasn’t until 1987 when the first attempt to...
Surrogate testing approaches that can predict heavy-ion single-event effect (SEE) responses in a device-under-test (DUT) could prove invaluable in easing pressure on oversubscribed heavy-ion facilities. However, predictive testing faces many challenges for successful implementation. The most significant of these challenges is generating a carrier distribution capable of reproducing the desired...
As part of the commissioning activity for the new SEREEL2 pulsed laser single-event effects test system being created at Radtest Ltd’s Harwell site, tests have been carried out on two types of component to compare heavy ion test data with the results of laser testing. These results are being used for a comparison exercise to demonstrate the applicability of laser testing for the assessment of...
We present pulsed-laser SEE tests on commercial SRAMs
sensitive to SEL and SEU, comparing results to heavy ion data.
The presentation gives a comparative analysis for the results of laser and heavy ion experiments carried out by the National Space Science Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences for integrated circuits and wide band gap semiconductor devices. By theoretical modeling and determination of the key parameters, the laser heavy ion equivalent relationship models for bulk silicon process and wide...
Thorough calibration of silicon detectors and their front-end electronics is a time-consuming and high-cost activity. Not only several particle beams including electron, proton, and heavy ions are needed, but also, depending on the design, other property effects such as temperature, bias voltage, and gain to name a few, might need to be characterized. This is especially true for the JUpiter...
