Annealing of Heavy-Ion Induced Upsets in Floating Gate Cells
It is hard to underestimate the importance of Flash memories for ground-level applications, from MP3 players to digital cameras. In addition, Flash memories are used in areas where high reliability is necessary (automotive, biomedical, etc.). Thanks to their low power requirements and large size, they are attractive for use in harsh environments as well, where the sensitivity to ionizing radiat...
متن کاملRadiation Effects on Floating-Gate Memory Cells
We have addressed the problem of threshold voltage ( TH) variation in flash memory cells after heavy-ion irradiation by using specially designed array structures and test instruments. After irradiation, low TH tails appear in TH distributions, growing with ion linear energy transfer (LET) and fluence. In particular, high LET ions, such as iodine used in this paper, can produce a bit flip. Since...
متن کاملUltra High-Energy Interaction of CR protons
The recent Auger results suggest that although coincidences of arrival directions with ’nearby’ AGN and HiRes discovery of the GZK cut-off indicate protons, the measured longitudinal propagation characteristics indicate heavy nuclei, if the conventional interaction model is correct. Something has to change! Our own view is that it is possible that the AGN -implied proton identification is not c...
متن کاملThe interaction region of high energy protons
The spatial view of the interaction region of colliding high energy protons (in terms of impact parameter) is considered. It is shown that the region of inelastic collisions has a very peculiar shape. It saturates for central collisions at an energy of 7 TeV. We speculate on the further evolution with energy, which is contrasted to the ”black disk” picture.
متن کاملFloating-Gate UVMOS inverter
The supply and threshold voltage scaling has been proposed for low-voltage/low-power design [1, 2, 3]. The programmable floating-gate circuits [3, 4] can be used to implement low-voltage/low-power digital circuits. The threshold voltages are shifted using reversed supply voltages and UV-light. The supply voltage may be reduced and the current level is determined by the threshold shift. Before t...
