摘要
This work details a process-portable test chip, fabricated in 65nm CMOS, specifically designed to measure radiation-induced soft error rate (SER) during operation at near-threshold. A variety of SRAM, register file (RF), and digital logic test structures are included that provide a comprehensive assessment of circuit sensitivities to radiation at low V-DD. Neutron irradiation measurements of SRAM/RF show a 6.45x increase in SER when V-DD is lowered from 1.0V to 0.33V, and a 2.6x increase in multi-bit upsets. Alpha bombardment of digital logic tests demonstrates the effectiveness of this test chip platform in characterizing the relationship between SER and different circuit characteristics when operating at low V-DD.
