AMICSA – Radiation effects Mitigation Techniques Rad Threats (TID, SEE) (technology and function dependent) • enclosed/bigger transistors, H-shape, pseudo-enclosed • guardband rings / STI / LOCOS • leakage currents • avoid diffusion resistors in favour of oxide R • Vth shifts • buried-layers, deep-N-well (NISO) • parasitic transistors/ latch up • epi layer / hetero-epi • low gain artificially provoked parasitic transistors • DRC isolation rules + waving to allow ELT • gate rupture • SOI • data corruption (bit flips) • hardened libraries (re-size, cell-topology) • transient pulses • thinner field oxide, thicker gate oxide • ADC offset auto-zeroing (analog and digital correction) • architecture hardening (open vs closed loop) • redundancy and voting/comparing • self-powering functions (reducing SEL options) • cyclic reset to prevent SEE accumulation • SET glitch filtering • Epitaxial N-pockets • Minimize use of NMOS transistors 07 -09 -2010 AMICSA 2010 Slide : 9

AMICSA – Future steps • Is the scope right? • Application domains, • Foundries, processes • Tools, • ATH, Qualification? • Is the size right? #days, length of presentations, number of contributors? More international? ? • AMICSA 2012 venue and date TBD 07 -09 -2010 AMICSA 2010 Slide : 10
