Abstract-A new on-chip Single Event Transient (SET) test structure has been developed that can autonomously measure the width of random SET pulses. Simulation results show measurement granularity of 900 ps for a 1.5 µm technology and 65 ps for 0.13 µm technology. Laser tests were used to obtain experimental data on test chips fabricated using 1.5 µm process. Experimental measurements show pulse widths varying from 900 ps to over 3 ns as the laser energy is increased.Index Terms-Single event transient (SET), transient pulse width
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.
