A new method is presented and demonstrated to quantify the leakage currents in Intermittently Stuck Bits (ISB's) in SDRAM's, which have been exposed to neutron or proton irradiation. It is argued that these ISB's are caused by Single Particle Displacement Damage Effects (SPDDE's), in the form of displacement damage complexes comprising one or more damage clusters. The leakage current histories of ISB's are compared with a model of the behavior of the displacement damage complexes believed to cause the ISB's.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
