SINGLE EVENT EFFECTS IN COMMERCIAL MICROPROCESSORS USING DYNAMIC CIRCUITRY

In this work the impact of technology trends on alpha particle induced soft error rates in state-of-the-art commercial microprocessors has been investigated. At the device level, both critical charge and charge collection efficiency decreases as technologies move to the next generation. For the two...
