摘要
Analysis of 90 nm CMOS SET response quantifies the interaction between charge collection and charge redistribution in a matched-current-drive inverter chain. It is shown that the SET pulse width difference between an n-hit and p-hit is due to parasitic bipolar amplification on the PMOS device. This difference is exploited to optimize transistor sizing and n-well contact layout for SET RHBD in combinational logic.
