Space applications frequently use flash memories for mass storage data. However, the technology applied in the memory array and peripheral circuity are not inherently radiation tolerant. This work introduces the results of radiation test campaigns with heavy ions and protons on a SLC NAND Flash. Static tests showed different failures types. Single events upsets and raw error cross sections were presented, as well as an evaluation of the occurrences of the events. Characterization of effects on the embedded data registers was also performed.
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.
